Abstract: Unaccounted-tor gas is defined as the difference between the amount of gas purchased and the amount of gas sold. This figure is most commonly described as a percenlage of the gas purchased percent unaccounted-for gas. Example: Unaccounted-for Gas Gas Purchased Gas Sold Unaccounted-for Gas 50,000 cubic feet - 45,000 cubic feet 5,000 cubic feet Percent Unaccounted-for Gas Unaccounted-for Gas 5,000 cubic feet Gas Purchased 50,000 cubic feet X 100 10% The unaccounted-for figure can be either a positive number (more gas was purchased than sold) or a negative number (more gas was sold than purchased). In either case, it is important to determine what factors are contributing to the unaccounted-for gas and eliminate them. The reasons are economics and safety. Economically, unaccounted-for gas represents lost revenues thai are not recoverable. It is gas purchased from a supplier but not sold to a customer (positive unaccounted-for gas). The other reason that we are interested in unaccounted-for gas is public safety. Leakage, third party damage and gas theft contribute to unaccounted-tor gas that can effect the safety of our customers.
