Industry:Energy
A process of opening up underground channels in hydrocarbon-bearing formations by force rather than by chemical action such as in acidizing. High pressure is hydraulically or explosively directed at the rock, causing it to fracture.
Industry:Energy
Amounts paid by interstate gas pipelines to natural gas producers, including affiliated companies, for exploration, development, or production of natural gas, which amounts were to be repaid in cash or by future delivery of gas. During a brief period during the 1970s the Commission allowed such advances to be included in the pipeline's rate base (with adjustments when repaid) and hence to be recovered by the pipeline through its cost of service. The purpose of the advance payments was to induce producers to sell natural gas at regulated prices to the interstate pipelines, rather than at higher, unregulated prices to intrastate pipelines.
Industry:Energy
Energy systems which produce electricity first and heat as a by-product.

Once an intrastate or interstate pipeline commences self-implementing transportation services under Section 311 of the NGPA, it becomes an OPEN ACCESS TRANSPORTER and must then provide transportation services on an open access, nondiscriminatory basis and comply with the regulations set forth in Part 284 of the Commission's regulations. In addition, once an interstate pipeline accepts a Part 284 blanket certificate, it is then an open access transporter. A pipeline which is "open" under Section 311 may terminate such service and "close" its system. However, once a pipeline accepts a blanket, it may not terminate open access services without first receiving Commission authorization to abandon its blanket certificate.
