ccf: 100 cubic feet-Standard measurement of gas usage | btmcf | Divide by 10 |
btmcf: The point at which the gas is used | mcf | Divide by the shrink percent |
mcf: Measurement of gas usage prior to line loss, equal to 1,000 cubic feet | dth | Multiply by the BTU factor |
dth: Measurement of gas usage which includes the heat value of the gas | the dth volume * (NYMEX Settle + Contract Basis) will give you your total Commodity Charge for the month. See Note 1 |
Note 1: The monthly gas usage on your Vineyard invoice may vary slightly from the usage on your NFG invoice due to the fluctuations in meter read cycles. VOG invoices customers on a monthly basis (1st of the month to EOM), whereas, NFG invoices transportation customers based on the meter read cycle as determined by NFG (i.e. If your meter is read on the 15th, your usage will be based on the read taken on the 15th of the previous month and the 15th of the current month). Please contact your Marketing Representative if you should have any questions regarding your billing cycle.
