  • Building Interstate Natural Gas Transmission Pipelines: A Primer
    This primer was written to explain how interstate natural gas pipelines are constructed, from the planning stages to completion. The primer is designed to help the reader understand what is done during each step of construction, how it is done, the types of equipment used, and the types of special practices employed in commonly found construction situations.

  • Expedited Federal Authorization of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines: Are Agencies Complying with EPAct?
    This report presents a study showing that the time to obtain required federal authorizations from agencies other than the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) for interstate natural gas pipeline projects has actually increased since the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), a law with the stated intent to streamline and expedite federal authorizations for such projects.

  • The Role of Pipeline Age in Pipeline Safety
    This paper demonstrates that the age of a natural gas transmission pipeline, in and of itself, is not the most important factor affecting the safety of that pipeline. This paper’s review of incidents reported to the Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) from 2002 through 2009 found that 85% of incidents occurred irrespective of a pipeline’s age, with just 15% related in some way to the age of the pipeline.

  • Knowledge Management for the Natural Gas Transmission Industry
    The natural gas industry and the people it serves would benefit if companies were to implement a more robust process to capture knowledge. Most companies – both inside and outside of the interstate natural gas pipeline industry – fail to “own” the “institutional” knowledge that is critical to company success such as data files, business histories, and business processes. Knowledge management is an important tool to support the safe and reliable operation of the North American natural gas pipeline industry, and companies must make a greater effort to retain employee knowledge.

  • Jobs & Economic Benefits of Midstream Infrastructure Development: US Economic Impacts through 2035
    Numerous studies have looked at the economic benefits of developing American oil and natural gas. This study, completed by Black & Veatch for The INGAA Foundation Inc., is the first to highlight the economic benefits – jobs, labor income, value added, economic output and federal, state and local tax generation – of constructing, operating and maintaining the midstream infrastructure needed to transport domestic energy.

  • Firming Renewable Electric Power Generators: Opportunities and Challenges for Natural Gas Pipelines
    The increased use of renewable electric power generation, particularly wind, will require electric power systems to provide back-up power to firm the generation from these intermittent sources of electricity. Natural gas-fired generation is a logical, low-cost choice for providing this back-up firming capability. This study evaluates the implications of the increased use of natural gas-fired generation for firming renewable resources for natural gas transportation infrastructure planning and pricing.

  • The Costs of Compliance to EPA’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the PCB Use Authorization for Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines
    Analysis Group Inc., was commissioned to examine the economic impacts of the PCB ANPR, with particular focus on the specific microeconomic effects to individual natural gas pipelines. The data and models employed in support of the economic analysis are for modeling purposes only and are not necessarily reflective of the nature and extent of PCBs in the natural gas pipeline system today. While commissioned by INGAA in support of its comments, this paper is an independent analysis, and its conclusions are based on the expertise of the authors.
