Abstract: Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) is a term used historically to describe the difference between gas bought and gas sold and used. This difference can be small or fairly large, depending on the make up of the gas companys distribution system, it geographic location, its accounting practices, and many other factors. However, is this UFG really unaccounted for?? Let us examine the elements. Again, UFG is the difference between the quantity of gas that a company buys from the supplier, be it well owners or transmission companies, and the sum of the registration on customers meters, plus its own company gas usage. This difference costs money, but generally, not the gas companys. The customers usually pay for this UFG in their rate structure. Any effort to reduce UFG will not result in more profit to the company, but will help reduce the rates and improve customer relations.
