Displacement transactions permit the lateral movement of gas through a transportation network. The configuration of many pipelines is such that it may not be apparent whether a given movement of gas is forward or backward from the point of receipt. It can be argued that all transportation service is performed by displacement as the physical delivery of the same molecules of gas is impossible. See BACKHAUL.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas storage facilities owned and controlled by a storage operator, quite often the interstate pipeline's affiliate. Capacity within these facilities is leased by customers, such as LDCs, who use the stored gas during cold weather. Leased storage gas is returned to the customer either in the market area (close to the recipient) or supply area (close to production).
