Company Profile:
A continuous pipe conduit, complete with such equipment as valves, compressor stations, communications systems, and metres for transporting natural and/or supplemental gas from one point to another, usually from a point in or beyond the producing field or processing plant to another pipeline or to points of utilization. Also refers to a company operating such facilities.
Industry:Energy
The average number of Btu per cubic foot of gas at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 14.73 psia delivered directly to consumers. Where billing is on a thermal basis, the heat content values used for billing purposes are to be used to determine the annual average heat content.
Industry:Energy
Part of the capital costs actually incurred up to the date of reserves estimation minus depreciation and amortisation expenses. Items such as exploration costs, land acquisition costs, and costs of financing can be included.
Industry:Energy

Industry:Energy
Refurbishment of a plant by replacement of the combustion technology with a new combustion technology, usually resulting in better performance and greater capacity.
Industry:Energy
The abrupt and large increase in electrical conductivity exhibited by some metals as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
Industry:Energy
Wax
A solid or semi-solid material consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons obtained or derived from petroleum fractions, or through a Fischer-Tropsch type process, in which the straight- chained paraffin series predominates. This includes all marketable wax, whether crude or refined, with a congealing point (ASTM D 938) between 100 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum oil content (ASTM D 3235) of 50 weight percent.
Industry:Energy
Refers to freight carried through pipelines, including natural gas, crude oil, and petroleum products (excluding water). Energy is consumed by various electrical components of the pipeline, including, valves, other, appurtenances attaches to the pipe, compressor units, metering stations, regulator stations, delivery stations, holders and fabricated assemblies.
Industry:Energy
The injection of gas into oil or gas formations to effect greater ultimate recovery.
Industry:Energy
