Natural Gas--Supply, Consumption, Reserves, and Marketed Production: 1970 to 2005 (Statistical Abstract 2008 Table 0880)

The Statistical Abstract files are distributed by the census department as excel files. These files have data mixed with notes and references, multiple tables per sheet, and worst of all the table headers aren’t easily matched to their rows and columns. The excel files in this collection are unmolested copies of the census originals, with the following exceptions:

1. A few files had extraneous characters in the title. These were corrected to be consistent. A few files have a sheet of crufty gibberish in the first slot. The sheet order was shuffled but no data were changed.

   The tables that were changed:

   0166 0257 0362 0429 0445 0446 0459 0461 0462 0464 0465 0466 0467 0469 0479 0480 0481 0482 0483 0484 0485 0486 0487 0559 0628 0629 1144 1227 1231

1. The first four files have been restructured to allow full comprehension of the table. If you’d like to help clean up the data follow along with what’s there.

The CSV files, and the payload portions of the yaml files, have not been processed beyond extracting an array (excel sheets) of 2-D arrays (each sheet’s cells).

Some metadata (title, footnotes, symbols, and sources) has been copied (without molesting the imported stream) into the appropriate slot in this schema. This metadata identification was purposefully done to be strict and simple, and the original files are somewhat irregular, so it’s possible that some metadata fields were missed

These files have been tagged by hand and received cursory inspection, but you’re advised to check against the originals before you go lauching any Mars rovers.

1. Estimated, end of year. Source: 1970-1976; American Gas Association, Arlington, VA (copyright.); thereafter, U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. Crude Oil, Natural Gas, and Natural Gas Liquids Reserves, annual.
2. Marketed production includes gross withdrawals from reservoirs less quantities used for reservoir repressuring and quantities vented or flared. For 1980 and thereafter, excludes the nonhydrocarbon gases subsequently removed.
3. Volumetric reduction in natural gas resulting from the removal of natural gas plant liquids, which are transferred to petroleum supply.
4. Quantities lost and imbalances in data due to differences among data sources. Since 1980, excludes intransit shipments that cross U.S.-Canada border (I.e., natural gas delivered to its destination via the other country).
5. Underground storage. For 1980-2004, includes liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage in above-ground tanks.
6. Includes deliveries to municipalities and public authorities for institutional heating and other purposes.
