Flow

For decades natural gas flows have moved to the huge Northeast demand region from the Gulf, Canada, Rockies and Midcontinent.  Now those flows are being reversed by the Marcellus and Utica plays that will soon be producing more gas than the Northeast can use. How do the pipelines that serve the region deal with this transition commercially?  Operationally?  Physically?  Today we will explore these questions and consider several terms that have become all-important in this upside-down gas world – backhauls, reversals, and null points.
