PIPELINE OPERATIONS 



Three major interstate natural gas pipeline companies supply Florida 

 (Figure 4). Federal Power Commission and Department of Energy statistics do 

 not reveal details on gas supply network characteristics or quantities for in- 

 dividual states. Total company operating statistics, each spanning at least 

 three states, are shown in Table 11. Since no details at the State level or 

 below are available, the extent of natural gas pipeline system operations 

 within the 10-county Southwest Florida region is not known. Forecasts of 

 pipeline shipment were not attempted due to the lack of baseline data.
