I agree that the natural gas does not directly go to the station. However, from what I could tell in the NERC documents they referenced it freezing at or close to the well.
> Natural gas at the burner tip is supposed to be one million cubic feet (MCF) is one million BTU (MMBTU)
I'm guessing you're referencing "14.8 Bcf of natural gas production was lost". If so, Bcf comes directly from the NERC report in reference 14.
- technofiend 6y agoNo I wasn't referencing that report. I was explaining why gas has to be processed before use and it's not a straight line from wellhead to burner tip. If you look at this report you'll see 28 Bcf was pulled from non-salt storage and 61 Bcf from salt storage between 2/5 and 2/12. But that still left 233 and 593 Bcf respectively in each storage type. Far more than the 14.8 Bcf loss mentioned in the report. https://ir.eia.gov/ngs/ngs.html https://ir.eia.gov/ngs/ngs.html
