INGAA argues that FERC departed from precedent in permitting use of lower-risk LDCs in the proxy group for setting Petitioners’ rates, and arbitrarily foreclosed use of gas pipeline MLPs as proxies for determining a gas pipeline’s rate of return. Read More

This natural gas pipeline impact study has been conducted at the request of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America Foundation (INGAA Foundation). In order to determine the impact of natural gas pipelines on real estate, several objectives were established through research of case law, professional literature, and articles in… Read More

In January 1999, the INGAA Foundation published Pipeline and Storage Infrastructure for a 30 Tcf Market. The report was the first in a series of studies examining the opportunities and challenges facing the natural gas industry in serving the growing natural gas market. The 1999 study focused on the pipeline… Read More

Policymakers been systems, looking particularly at new integrity inspections. One of the key questions being raised in these forums is whether there should be a specific integrity inspection interval for natural gas pipelines, and if so, what the appropriate interval should be and what technology should be used. This report… Read More

The Gulf of Mexico is one of the nation’s most important natural gas supply areas. Offshore production in the Gulf provides U.S. markets with 26.5 percent of indigenous gas supplies, and forecasters are predicting significant increases in U.S. gas production from the region. This study found that the natural gas… Read More

The Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) Foundation commissioned ENSR International (ENSR), an environmental consulting firm, to undertake a study to solicit, assimilate, and present the natural gas transmission Industry reactions to the proposed revisions of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) Upland Erosion Control, Revegetation, and Maintenance Plan… Read More

Natural gas provides 25 percent of the basic energy needs in the U.S., but many consumers are unfamiliar with the pipeline industry that ships that natural gas. The 32 INGAA member companies that operate the 180,000-mile underground interstate natural gas pipeline system have been quietly, safely and reliably delivering natural… Read More

Wirthlin Worldwide’s research conclusions and strategic recommendations comprise what we consider a meaningful paradigm shift in the natural gas industry’s approach to siting pipelines in the United States.  This enhanced approach integrates an expanded emphasis on the pre-siting process with the already successful foundation of current industry practices. … Read More

Over the next 20 years, US natural gas demand will grow by 50%.  According to a recent study, pipeline companies will need to install almost 50,000 miles of pipe to meet the growing market for natural gas in the US from 2001 to 2015.  To meet this growing demand,… Read More

This report provides the results of an evaluation of the units impacted by national regulations to control hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from natural gas-fired combustion turbines and reciprocating internal combustion engines (IC engines).  Impacts were estimated using the Engine and Turbine Database (ETDB), an industry database developed through support… Read More

Pending and/or proposed Federal and local regulations have generated increasing interest in trade-offs between emissions of NOx versus CO, THC’s and in particular HAPS. The Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) commissioned Advanced Engine Technologies Corporation (AETC) to compile a database of engine emission and performance data for typical two and… Read More

The INGAA Foundation Inc. commissioned ENSR International (ENSR), an environmental consulting firm, to undertake a study to identify potential solutions to conflicts that sometimes arise between regional, federal, state, local, and/or tribal governing entities when siting, constructing, and maintaining interstate natural gas pipelines. This study was conducted between March and… Read More

The North American natural gas industry is facing a critical period over the next 10 to 15 years.  Since 2000, the balance between natural gas supply and demand has tightened substantially.  A number of important events have occurred recently in natural gas markets contributing to the tightening including: A… Read More
