Natural Gas Quality
Why It Matters to Your Company
Natural gas plays a vital role in the U.S. energy supply and in fueling commercial and industrial businesses like yours. Just as gas supply reliability is a top priority for your business, natural gas quality is also an important consideration for plant and energy managers.
The quality of natural gas your business receives could impact your operational reliability or environmental performance. For example, certain equipment or processes may be sensitive to heavy hydrocarbons, Btu level or composition changes.
Why is gas quality an issue now?
With rising gas demand, higher energy prices, price volatility, and the anticipated reduction in domestic natural gas production, the future national energy supply portfolio will be more diversified, including liquefied natural gas (LNG). Many natural gas producers, importers and processors are seeking to change gas quality specifications and LNG importers want to bring gas to North American markets with varying Btu composition from countries around the world, which could result in the delivery of natural gas at higher Btu levels, and may cause your business to experience greater rates of change in the Btu and gas composition than historic deliveries.
