Solving global energy challenges starts here

With its abundance of natural gas, the United States is uniquely positioned to help lower energy costs for consumers both domestically and abroad while at the same time building pathways to a low-carbon, energy-secure future.

Storing natural gas for high demand periods

Every year some of the natural gas produced in the United States is stored away so it can be used during the high-demand periods of winter and summer. The most common way to store natural gas is in large caverns underground. It can also be stored in smaller quantities in tanks above ground.

What is QMRV?

QMRV stands for quantification, monitoring, reporting and verification. The natural gas industry is using advanced technology in this process to get a more detailed view of emissions across the value chain.

What’s this term: dekatherm? How much heat in cubic feet?

You probably have a good understanding of the volume of a gallon of milk or a pound of sugar. You can see it and feel it.

But measuring natural gas is a bit harder to visualize. Natural gas is measured in cubic feet and is a unit of volume equal to a cube one foot long on each side.

Midstream’s role in RSG

Responsibly Sourced Gas (RSG) has the potential to change the global market for natural gas and position the U.S. as a low-carbon leader in reducing emissions.
