4 Preface The Natural Gas Monthly (NGM) highlights activities, events, and analyses of interest to public and private sector organizations associated with the natural gas industry. Volume and price data are presented each month for natural gas production, distribution, consumption, and interstate pipeline activities. Producerrelated activities and underground storage data are also reported. The data in this publication are collected on surveys conducted by the EIA to fulfill its responsibilities for gathering and reporting energy data. Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Explanatory Notes supplement the information found in tables of the report. A description of the data collection surveys that support the NGM is provided in the Data Sources section. A glossary of the terms used in this report is also provided to assist readers in understanding the data presented in this publication. All natural gas volumes are reported at a pressure base of pounds per square inch absolute (psia) and at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Cubic feet are converted to cubic meters by applying a factor of iv U.S. Energy Information Administration Natural Gas Monthly

7 Highlights This issue of the Natural Gas Monthly (NGM) contains state and national level estimates of natural gas volume and price data through August Recent analyses of the natural gas industry are available on the EIA Web Site by clicking the Natural Gas link under the Sources & Uses tab. The two reports listed under Regular Weekly Releases along the right side of the natural gas page are updated regularly. These reports are: Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report a weekly report containing estimates of natural gas in underground storage for the United States and three regions of the United States released each Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at the EIA Web site, except for certain weeks with Federal holidays. The report contains estimates of storage for the current and prior week and comparisons to previous periods. Links are provided to papers describing survey Form EIA 912, "Weekly Underground Natural Gas Storage Report," and the estimation methodology. Natural Gas Weekly Update a current analysis of the industry each week, including information on natural gas spot and futures prices and storage activities. This page also provides links to numerous other EIA sites dealing with natural gas. Other natural gas data and analyses may be found through the Natural Gas section of EIA s web site.

The ratio of annual supplemental fuels (excluding Dakota Gasification Co.) to the sum of dry gas production, net imports, and net withdrawals from storage is calculated. This ratio is applied to the monthly sum of these three elements. The Dakota Gasification Co. monthly value is added to the result to produce the monthly supplemental fuels estimate. d Monthly and annual data for 2010 through 2014 include underground storage and liquefied natural gas storage. Data for January 2015 forward include underground storage only. See Appendix A, Explanatory Note 5, for discussion of computation procedures. e Represents quantities lost and imbalances in data due to differences among data sources. Net imports and balancing item for 2014 and 2015 excludes net intransit deliveries. These net intransit deliveries were (in billion cubic feet): 27 for 2014; 54 for 2013; 57 for 2012; 37 for 2011; and 9 for See Appendix A, Explanatory Note 7, for full discussion. f Consists of pipeline fuel use, lease and plant fuel use, vehicle fuel, and deliveries to consuming sectors as shown in Table 2.

Monthly lease and plant fuel use is estimated from monthly marketed production by assuming that the preceding annual percentage remains constant for the next 12 months. b Published pipeline and distribution use data are based on reports collected on an annual basis. Monthly pipeline and distribution use data are estimated from monthly total consumption (excluding pipeline and distribution use) by assuming that the preceding annual percentage remains constant for the next 12 months. Pipeline and distribution use volumes include Line Loss, defined as known volumes of natural gas that were the result of leaks, damage, accidents, migration, and/or blow down. c Heating value is the average number of British thermal units per cubic foot of natural gas as reported on EIA 857 and EIA 176.

Not applicable. Notes: In the case of missing import or export reports on Form FE 746R, Import and Export of Natural Gas, EIA estimates the missing volumes using pipeline flows or other available information. LNG re exports are shipments of LNG to foreign countries that were previously imported, offloaded into above ground LNG storage tanks, and then subsequently reloaded onto tankers for delivery to other countries. Prices are in nominal dollars.

RE Revised estimated data. Notes: For 2014, monthly volumes are available only for those states/areas that were collected individually on the EIA 914 Survey (Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, and the Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico) and Alaska. Starting in 2015, 10 states (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, and West Virginia) were added to the EIA 914 data collection and are reported individually. The remaining states/areas (Alabama, Arizona, Federal Offshore Pacific, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Virginia) are grouped in the "Other States" category. Monthly preliminary state level data for all states not collected individually on the EIA 914 survey are available after the final annual reports for these series are collected and processed. Final annual data are generally available in the third quarter of the following year. The sum of individual states may not equal total U.S. volumes due to independent rounding.
