AGA Survey History
• At end of 1993 AGA began a voluntary survey of storage operators with purpose of enhancing information needed for storage operations. Their last report will be May 1.
• Respondents are 42-43 companies who report storage data for 3 geographic regions.
• Data are released on Wednesday afternoon of each week, with a delay of one day for some federal holidays.

AGA Data Collection
• AGA data form requests respondent information for 3 items per region (1 region per form):
- Working gas volumes for company as of 9 a.m. Friday this week and this week last year
- Maximum working gas in company-region reservoirs at any time during 1992-2001

Methodological and Operational Issues
• Estimation methodology and sample selection
• Editing and imputation
• Revision of estimates
• Comparisons with AGA and EIA monthly series
• Security, release time, and release product
![Page 6: Roy Kass, Natural Gas Division, EIA March 20, 2002 Reno, Nevada Gasmart](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813466550346895d9b4b50/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Estimation and Sample Selection I
• Objectives are weekly estimates of working gas in storage for three regions and total U.S.
• Approach was determined by available resources, time constraint, and customer/respondent desires for minimal change
![Page 7: Roy Kass, Natural Gas Division, EIA March 20, 2002 Reno, Nevada Gasmart](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813466550346895d9b4b50/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Estimation and Sample Selection II
• Sampled from monthly EIA-191 responses for October, 2001 within each region, target standard error five percent of estimate.
• Certainty and noncertainty strata. Probability proportional to size for noncertainty companies
• Initial sample of 50 companies. Expect to select new panel annually.

Estimation and Sample Selection III
• Estimation formula in each region is
where N = all companies that report monthly for that region
n = sample size for that regionf = companies in region that failed edits or did not report this weekWWG = weekly reports of working gas for sample members in regionMWG = monthly reports of working gas for companies in region

Estimate Revisions
• We will allow (and encourage) revisions to submitted data of greater than 1 Bcf, especially if:– Errors in earlier reports are found– Reclassification between base and working gas

Operational Issues
• Comparisons between AGA and EIA series
• Adequacy of response
• Security equivalent to or more severe than AGA’s
![Page 11: Roy Kass, Natural Gas Division, EIA March 20, 2002 Reno, Nevada Gasmart](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813466550346895d9b4b50/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Description of EIA and AGA Storage Data
• EIA will prepare two papers to assist analysts in using and assessing the data– Technical description of the survey and
methodology (Mid April)– Comparison of methodologies and
presentation of estimates for weeks where both EIA and AGA have collected data (shortly after EIA’s first publication)
![Page 12: Roy Kass, Natural Gas Division, EIA March 20, 2002 Reno, Nevada Gasmart](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813466550346895d9b4b50/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Operational Concerns
• We will be posting the weekly product to EIA’s web site
• EIA’s site is available to all Internet users
• Press and wire services are our friend
• Will not allow fast-repeating robots to conduct “denial of service attacks”
![Page 15: Roy Kass, Natural Gas Division, EIA March 20, 2002 Reno, Nevada Gasmart](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813466550346895d9b4b50/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
