Industry:Energy
A program promulgated by the FPC during the interstate natural gas shortage of the 1970s whereby industrial users could purchase natural gas directly from producers and utilize the natural gas pipelines as contract carriers to transport the gas. As end-users, self-help industrial users were not restricted by federal wellhead price ceilings (since the gas was not sold for resale) and thus could compete with intrastate pipelines for natural gas.
Industry:Energy
An above the water reinforced structure with pipe pile legs extending down into the ocean floor to support the above water structures and equipment installed for the measurement of gas, and for the operation of the offshore pipelines.
Industry:Energy
Equipment installed for the purpose of preventing the pressure on a pipeline or distribution system to which it is connected from exceeding the maximum allowable operating pressure by venting gas to the atmosphere whenever the pressure exceeds this valve.
