How natural gas was formed, how we get it, how it is stored and delivered, how it is measured, what it is used for, how it affects the environment and more.
How does natural gas travel from producing field to consumers?
Briefly describes the national natural gas transportation network which moves around 21 trillion cubic feet per year of natural gas to about 70 million customers. The network, excluding gathering system operators, is made up of more than 200 mainline transmission pipeline companies, more than 1,300 local distribution companies, and about 125 underground natural gas storage operators.

What are natural gas customer choice programs?
Customer choice programs let households and small commercial establishments purchase natural gas from someone other than their traditional utility company. However, utility companies still deliver the natural gas to consumers. Categories: Consumption (Released, 6/17/2008)
What is liquefied natural gas (LNG) and how is it becoming an energy source for the United States?
The United States imports about 16% of the natural gas we consume. Most of these imports are delivered by pipeline (from Canada). But a growing volume of natural gas is coming to the United States in liquid form from overseas. With the demand for natural gas expected to increase, it's likely that U.S. imports of LNG also will need to increase. Categories: Imports & Exports/Pipelines (Released, 5/1/2008)
