Major Changes in Natural Gas Pipeline Transportation Capacity, 1998-2008
This presentation graphically illustrates the areas of major growth on the national natural gas pipeline transmission network between 1998 and the end of 2008. Categories: Imports & Exports/Pipelines (Released, 11/18/2008, pps format)
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.

Additions to Capacity on the U.S. Natural Gas Pipeline Network: 2007
This report examines new natural gas pipeline capacity added to the U.S. natural gas pipeline system during 2007 and the areas of the country where those additions were concentrated. In addition, it discusses and analyzes proposed natural gas pipeline projects that may be developed between 2008 and 2010 and the market factors supporting these initiatives.

Distribution of Natural Gas: The Final Step in the Transmission Process
This special report analyzes the role of local distribution companies (LDCs) and transmission pipelines in delivering natural gas supplies to end-use customers, focusing upon the years 1996 through 2006. It also examines the changing dynamics of natural gas end-use markets, especially the trend toward large-volume users such as electric power generation plants and large industrial users receiving greater portions of their supplies from mainline natural gas transmission pipeline companies rather than the traditional LDC.

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)

The influence of these factors on regional prices and price volatility is examined. Categories: Prices, Pipelines, (Released, 9/11/2007, html format)
About U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines
This information product provides the interested reader with a broad and non-technical overview of how the U.S. natural gas pipeline network operates, along with some insights into the many individual pipeline systems that make up the network. While the focus of the presentation is the transportation of natural gas over the interstate and intrastate pipeline systems, information on subjects related to pipeline development, such as system design and pipeline expansion, are also included.

U.S. LNG Imports – The Next Wave
“U.S. LNG imports – The Next Wave,” is now available as a special supplement to the January 2007 issue of the Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). Although liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports still account for less than three percent of total U.S. natural gas supplies, the global market is growing and the Energy Information Administration (EIA) foresees another wave of U.S. LNG import growth over the next 2 years. The supplement focuses on recent trends in global and U.S. LNG trade, and presents factors expected to influence LNG imports through 2008. EIA expects year-over-year increases in LNG imports of 34.5 and 38.5 percent in 2007 and 2008, respectively. (Released, 1/11/2007, pdf format)
