Title: Unaccounted For Gas

Abstract: Unaccounted For Gas is a misnomer, a name stuck to the industry that conjures up a notion of mysteriously losing a commodity or leaking pipelines. This paper is presented to apply the technologies of gas measurement and recordkeeping to a new title, Delivery and Input Measurements differences (DIM). To develop this subject it is necessary to define a typical system for comparative results. For instance, a transmission operation would have an entirely different DIM profile from distribution, and a comparison is questionable. DOT, FERC, state regulators and the industry discuss functional breakdown in terms of field gathering, transmission, storage, and distribution systems so this presents a logical start. Most companies are staffed along these boundaries, so the psychology of accountability in a particular operating area can be helpful. Each of the noted operations should be analyzed and evaluated on its own DIMs.
