Natural gas – a critical sourceNatural gas – a critical source of energy and raw material of energy and raw material

• Vital to the US Economy• ¼ of U.S. energy requirements• environmental fuel of Choice and regulation• provides about 19% of electric generation• residential customers --60 million in 2001• U.S. industries- over 40% of all primary

energy • Industrial consumption, up by almost 48%

from 1986 to 2001. Increase continues…..• Production U.S. lower-48 and non-Arctic

Canada flat to declining,• LNG and Arctic gas will become the major

supply source, providing 20-25% of U.S. demand by 2025.

• And lastly……..

Safety?– How Important?

• Essential• Prevention is Possible• Compliance

– Design Standards & Review– No Dig Rules– Testing and Repair Rules

• Inspection

Pre-Filing Process –Increased Public

Involvement More interactive NEPA/permitting process, no

shortcuts Earlier, more direct interaction between FERC,

other agencies, landowners Time savings realized only if we are working

together with stakeholders FERC/Agency staff are advocates of the

Process, not the Project! Goal of “no surprises”

Office of Energy Projects

Zone 1 - significant impacts to public safety / property within 500 meters (1,640 feet) due to thermal hazards from a fire.

Zone 2 – transition to less severe thermal hazard levels to public safety / property - 500 to 1,600 meters.

Zone 3 - lower public health and safety impacts beyond 1,600 meters (5,250 feet).

Large, unignited LNG vapor cloud unlikely, but could extend to 2,500 meters (8,200 feet).
