Annual report of the origin of natural gas liquids production form EIA-64A

摘要

The collection of basic, verifiable information on the Nation's reserves and production of natural gas liquids (NGL) is mandated by the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (FEAA) (Public Law 93-275) and the Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-91). Gas shrinkage volumes reported on Form EIA-64A by natural gas processing plant operators are used with natural gas data collected on a (open quotes)wet after lease separation(close quotes) basis on Form EIA-23, Annual Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, to estimate (open quotes)dry(close quotes) natural gas reserves and production volumes regionally and nationally. The shrinkage data are also used, along with the plant liquids production data reported on Form EIA-64A, and lease condensate data reported on Form EIA-23, to estimate regional and national gas liquids reserves and production volumes. This information is the only comprehensive source of credible natural gas liquids data, and is required by DOE to assist in the formulation of national energy policies.
