The Development of Market Centers and Electronic Trading in Natural Gas Markets
Office of Economic Policy Discussion Paper 99-01 The Development of Market Centers and Electronic Trading in Natural Gas Markets Stewart Holmes Office of Economic Policy Federal Energy Regulatory Commission June 1999 Office of Economic Policy Discussion Papers are preliminary materials circulated to stimulate comment and criticism. The analyses and conclusions are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of other members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff, any individual Commissioner, or the Commission itself. Introduction The decade of the 1990s has seen the significant development of market centers and the introduction of electronic gas trading in natural gas markets. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the growth and current status of market centers and electronic gas trading. Almost all market center development and all electronic trading activity has occurred since Order No 636. Market centers are important to natural gas markets for several reasons. They facilitate gas trading and transportation, and they help provide the liquidity needed to make electronic gas trading a growing force in current-day natural gas markets. Market centers also reduce transactions costs by making it easier for buyers and sellers to do business with one another. Thus, market centers have supported and can continue to promote the Commission's goal of improved short-term and long-term gas markets. For a recent discussion of this goal, see the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Notice of Inquiry in Dockets RM98-10-000 and RM98-12-000, respectively. The text of the paper is organized into separate sections on market centers and electronic gas trading. -

The Renewable Operating Permit (ROP) No. MI-ROP-B3721-2014a for the Reed City Compressor Station expired February 6, 2019. As required under Section A.35 of the Reed City Station ROP, ANR has submitted a permit renewal application 6 months prior to expiration of the permit or August 6, 2018; therefore, the station continues to operate under this ROP. This change, anticipated to take place in June 2020, is for replacement of the two (2) existing emergency generators, EURC019 rated at 355 hp and EURC020 rated at 475 hp with one (1) new emergency generator, EURC064, rated at 1,114 hp. The new emergency generator, EURC064 is exempt from the requirement to obtain a Permit-to- Install (PTI) under R 336.1278 and R 336.1285(2)(9), which exempts internal combustion engines with heat input less than 10 MMBtu/hr from obtaining a PTI. The facility is currently subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) rules incorporated under R 336.1119, however this change does not trigger major modification applicability. -

Pipeline Transportation and Underground
Docket No. RP16-___-000 Exhibit No. ANR-012 Page 1 of 17 Additions to Capacity on the U.S. Natural Gas Pipeline Network: 2005 This report examines the amount of new natural gas pipeline capacity added to the U.S. natural gas pipeline system during 2005 and the areas of the country where those additions were concentrated. In addition, it discusses and analyzes proposed natural gas pipeline projects that may be developed between 2006 and 2008 and the market factors supporting these initiatives. Questions or comments on the contents of this article should be directed to James Tobin at [email protected] or (202) 586-4835. The addition to natural gas pipeline capacity in 2005 It appears, however, that 2004 and 2005 may be the bottom exceeded that of 2004 (Figure 1) although fewer miles of of a temporary trough in the natural gas pipeline development pipeline were installed (Figure 2). Miles of new natural gas activity cycle. The current inventory of announced or pipeline (1,152) were 21 percent less than in 2004, even approved natural gas pipeline projects indicates that natural though pipeline capacity grew by 8.2 billion cubic feet per gas pipeline capacity additions could increase significantly day (Bcf/d), a 7-percent increase in capacity additions (see between 2006 and 2008 (Figure 1). Several factors are Box, “Capacity Measures,” p. 4). Indeed, less new natural driving this anticipated growth, particularly the expanding gas pipeline mileage was added in 2005 than in any year development of natural gas production in the Fort Worth during the past decade.1 Basin of east Texas and the Piceance/Unita Basins of western Colorado and eastern Utah, and the need for natural gas Figure 1. -
