Monthly Energy Review


The Monthly Energy Review (MER) is the U.S. Energy Information Administrations (EIA) primary
report of recent and historical energy statistics. Included are statistics on total energy production,
consumption, trade, and energy prices; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal, electricity,
nuclear energy, renewable energy, and international petroleum; carbon dioxide emissions; and data
unit conversions.
Release of the MER is in keeping with responsibilities given to EIA in Public Law 9591 (Department of Energy Organization Act), which states, in part, in Section 205(a)(2):
The Administrator shall be responsible for carrying out a central, comprehensive, and unified energy data and information program which will collect, evaluate, assemble, analyze, and disseminate data and information....
The MER is intended for use by Members of Congress, federal and state agencies, energy analysts,
and the general public. EIA welcomes suggestions from readers regarding the content of the MER
and other EIA publications.
Related Monthly Publications: Other monthly EIA reports are Petroleum Supply
Monthly, Petroleum Marketing Monthly, Natural Gas Monthly, and Electric Power Monthly. For
more information, contact EIAs Office of Communications via email at infoctr@eia.gov.

Important Notes About the Data


Data Displayed: For tables beginning in 1949, annual data are usually displayed only in
5-year increments between 1950 and 2000 in the tables in Portable Document Format (PDF) files;
however, all annual data are shown in the Excel and comma-separated values (CSV) files. Also,
only two to three years of monthly data are displayed in the PDF files; however, for many series,
monthly data beginning with January 1973 are available in the Excel and CSV files.
Comprehensive Changes: Each month, most MER tables and figures carry a new month
of data, which is usually preliminary (and sometimes estimated or even forecast) and likely to be
revised in the succeeding month.
Annual Data From 1949: In 2013, EIA expanded the MER to incorporate annual data as
far back as 1949 in those data tables that were previously published in both the Annual Energy
Review (AER) and MER. Analysts may wish to use the data in this report in conjunction with the
AER which offers annual data beginning in 1949 for many related supplemental data series that are
not found in the MER. The AER is available at http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/annual.

Electronic Access
The MER is available on
EIAs website in a variety of formats at
http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly.
Full report and sections: PDF files
Report tables: PDF files
Table data (unrounded): Excel and CSV files
Graphs: PDF files
Note: PDF files display selected annual and monthly data; Excel and CSV files display all available
annual and monthly data, often at a greater level of precision than the PDF files.
Timing of Release: The MER is posted on the EIA website no later than the last work day of
the month at http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly.

Released: December 24, 2013

Notes: Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature
used as an index for heating and cooling energy requirements. Heating
degree-days are the number of degrees that the daily average temperature
falls below 65 F. Cooling degree-days are the number of degrees that the
daily average temperature rises above 65 F. The daily average temperature
is the mean of the maximum and minimum temperatures in a 24-hour period.
For example, a weather station recording an average daily temperature of 40
F would report 25 heating degree-days for that day (and 0 cooling
degree-days). If a weather station recorded an average daily temperature of
78 F, cooling degree-days for that station would be 13 (and 0 heating degree
days).

for historical data.


Sources: There are several degree-day databases maintained by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The information published
here is developed by the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center,
Camp Springs, MD. The data are available weekly with monthly summaries
and are based on mean daily temperatures recorded at about 200 major
weather stations around the country. The temperature information recorded
at those weather stations is used to calculate statewide degree-day averages
based on population. The state figures are then aggregated into Census
Divisions and into the national average. The population weights currently
used represent resident state population data estimated for the 2000 Census
by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The data
provided here are available sooner than the Historical Climatology Series 5-1
(heating degree-days) developed by the National Climatic Data Center,
Asheville, NC, which compiles data from some 8,000 weather stations.

Notes: Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature

For example, if a weather station recorded an average daily temperature of

Energy Overview
Note. Merchandise Trade Value. Imports data presented
are based on the customs values. Those values do not
include insurance and freight and are consequently lower
than the cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) values, which are
also reported by the Bureau of the Census. All exports data,
and imports data through 1980, are on a free alongside ship
(f.a.s.) basis.
Balance is exports minus imports; a positive balance
indicates a surplus trade value and a negative balance
indicates a deficit trade value. Energy includes mineral
fuels, lubricants, and related material. Non-Energy Balance
and Total Merchandise include foreign exports (i.e.,
re-exports) and nonmonetary gold and U.S. Department of
Defense Grant-Aid shipments. The Non-Energy Balance
is calculated by subtracting the Energy from the Total
Merchandise Balance.
Imports consist of government and nongovernment
shipments of merchandise into the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the
U.S. Foreign Trade Zones. They reflect the total arrival
from foreign countries of merchandise that immediately
entered consumption channels, warehouses, the Foreign
Trade Zones, or the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. They
exclude shipments between the United States, Puerto Rico,
and U.S. possessions, shipments to U.S. Armed Forces and
diplomatic missions abroad for their own use, U.S. goods
returned to the United States by its Armed Forces, and
in-transit shipments.

a See "Primary Energy Consumption" in Glossary.


b See Table 10.2a for notes on series components and estimation.
c Natural gas only; excludes the estimated portion of supplemental gaseous

fuels. See Note 3, "Supplemental Gaseous Fuels," at end of Section 4.


d Does not include biofuels that have been blended with petroleumbiofuels
are included in "Biomass."
e Conventional hydroelectric power.
f Electricity retail sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and,
beginning in 1996, other energy service providers.
g Total losses are calculated as the primary energy consumed by the electric
power sector minus the energy content of electricity retail sales. Total losses are
allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to each sectors share of total
electricity retail sales. See Note 1, "Electrical System Energy Losses," at end of
section.

R=Revised. E=Estimate. NA=Not available. =No data reported. F=Forecast.


(s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: Data are estimates, except for coal totals beginning in 2008;
hydroelectric power; solar/PV; wind; and electricity retail sales beginning in 1979.
The commercial sector includes commercial combined-heat-and-power (CHP)
and commercial electricity-only plants. See Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants
Into Energy-Use Sectors," at end of Section 7. See Note 2, "Energy
Consumption Data and Surveys," at end of section. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the 50 states
and the District of Columbia.

output.

The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and


combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose
primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. See
Note 2, "Energy Consumption Data and Surveys," at end of section. Totals may
not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Geographic
coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Web Page:
See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#consumption
(Excel and CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly
data beginning in 1973.
Sources: Tables 3.8c, 4.3, 6.2, 7.1, 7.2b, 10.2c, A4, A5, and A6.

Selected years of data from 1949 through 1972 have been added to this table.
For all years of data from 1949 through 2013, see the Web Page cited above.

Energy Consumption by Sector


Note 1. Electrical System Energy Losses. Electrical
system energy losses are calculated as the difference
between total primary consumption by the electric power
sector (see Table 2.6) and the total energy content of electricity retail sales (see Tables 7.6 and A6). Most of these
losses occur at steam-electric power plants (conventional
and nuclear) in the conversion of heat energy into
mechanical energy to turn electric generators. The loss is
a thermodynamically necessary feature of the steamelectric cycle. Part of the energy input-to-output losses is
a result of imputing fossil energy equivalent inputs for
hydroelectric, geothermal, solar thermal, photovoltaic,
and wind energy sources. In addition to conversion
losses, other losses include power plant use of electricity,
transmission and distribution of electricity from power
plants to end-use consumers (also called "line losses"),
and unaccounted-for electricity. Total losses are allocated
to the end-use sectors in proportion to each sector's share
of total electricity sales. Overall, about two thirds of total
energy input is lost in conversion. Currently, of electricity generated, approximately 5 percent is lost in plant use
and 7 percent is lost in transmission and distribution.
Note 2. Energy Consumption Data and Surveys. Most
of the data in this section of the Monthly Energy Review

34

(MER) are developed from a group of energy-related


surveys, typically called "supply surveys," conducted by the
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Supply
surveys are directed to suppliers and marketers of specific
energy sources. They measure the quantities of specific
energy sources produced, or the quantities supplied to the
market, or both. The data obtained from EIA's supply
surveys are integrated to yield the summary consumption
statistics published in this section (and in Section 1) of the
MER.
Users of EIA's energy consumption statistics should be
aware of a second group of energy-related surveys, typically
called "consumption surveys." Consumption surveys gather
information on the types of energy consumed by end users
of energy, along with the characteristics of those end users
that can be associated with energy use. For example, the
Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey belongs to
the consumption survey group because it collects information directly from end users (the manufacturing establishments). There are important differences between the supply
and consumption surveys that need to be taken into account
in any analysis that uses both data sources. For information
on those differences, see Energy Consumption by End-Use
Sector, A Comparison of Measures by Consumption and
Supply Surveys, DOE/EIA-0533, U.S. Energy Information
Administration, Washington, DC, April 6, 1990.

a Crude oil production on leases, and natural gas liquids (liquefied petroleum
gases, pentanes plus, and a small amount of finished petroleum products)
production at natural gas processing plants. Excludes what was previously
classified as "Field Production" of finished motor gasoline, motor gasoline blending
components, and other hydrocarbons and oxygenates; these are now included in
"Adjustments."
b Includes lease condensate.
c Once a month, data for crude oil production, total field production, and
adjustments are revised going back as far as the data year of the U.S. Energy
Information Administrations (EIA) last published Petroleum Supply Annual
(PSA)these revisions are released at the same time as EIAs Petroleum Supply
Monthly. Once a year, data for these series are revised going back as far as 10
yearsthese revisions are released at the same time as the PSA.
d United States excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
e Natural gas plant liquids.
f Renewable fuels and oxygenate plant net production.
g Refinery and blender net production minus refinery and blender net inputs.
See Table 3.2.
h Includes Strategic Petroleum Reserve imports. See Table 3.3b.

Importsh

i Net imports equal imports minus exports.


j A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates
an increase. The current month stock change estimate is based on the change
from the previous months estimate, rather than the stocks values shown in Table
3.4. Includes crude oil stocks in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but excludes
distillate fuel oil stocks in the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve. See Table 3.4.
k An adjustment for crude oil, hydrogen, oxygenates, renewable fuels, other
hydrocarbons, motor gasoline blending components, finished motor gasoline, and
distillate fuel oil. See EIAs Petroleum Supply Monthly, Appendix B, "PSM
Explanatory Notes," for further information.
R=Revised. E=Estimate. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 500 barrels per day
and greater than -500 barrels per day.
Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent
rounding. Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Notes: Data are estimates. For total heat content of petroleum consumption
by all sectors, see data for heat content of petroleum products supplied in Table
3.6. Petroleum products supplied is an approximation of petroleum consumption

and is synonymous with the term "petroleum consumption" in Tables 3.7a3.8c.


See Note 1, "Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum Consumption," at end of
section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

Petroleum
Note 1. Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum
Consumption. Total petroleum products supplied is the
sum of the products supplied for each petroleum product,
crude oil, unfinished oils, and gasoline blending components. For each of these except crude oil, product supplied
is calculated by adding refinery production, natural gas
plant liquids production, new supply of other liquids,
imports, and stock withdrawals, and subtracting stock
additions, refinery inputs, and exports. Crude oil product
supplied is the sum of crude oil burned on leases and at
pipeline pump stations as reported on Form EIA-813,
Monthly Crude Oil Report. Prior to 1983, crude oil
burned on leases and used at pipeline pump stations was
reported as either distillate or residual fuel oil and was
included as product supplied for these products. Petroleum product supplied (see Tables 3.5 and 3.6) is an
approximation of petroleum consumption and is synonymous with the term Petroleum Consumption in Tables
3.7a3.8c.
Note 2. Petroleum Survey Respondents. The U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) uses a number of
sources and methods to maintain the survey respondent lists.
On a regular basis, survey managers review such industry
publications as the Oil & Gas Journal and Oil Daily for
information on facilities or companies starting up or closing
down operations. Those sources are augmented by articles
in newspapers, communications from respondents indicating
changes in status, and information received from survey
systems.
To supplement routine frames maintenance and to provide
more thorough coverage, a comprehensive frames investigation is conducted every 3 years. This investigation results in
the reassessment and recompilation of the complete frame
for each survey. The effort also includes the evaluation of
the impact of potential frame changes on the historical time
series of data from these respondents. The results of this
frame study are usually implemented in January to provide a
full year under the same frame.
Note 3. Historical Petroleum Data. Detailed information
on petroleum data through 1993 can be found in Notes 16
on pages 60 and 61 in the July 2013 Monthly Energy Review
(MER) at
http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/archive/00351307.pdf.

The notes discuss:


Note 1, Petroleum Survey Respondents: In 1993, EIA
added numerous companies that produce, blend, store, or
import oxygenates to the monthly surveys.
Note 2, Motor Gasoline: In 1981, EIA expanded its
universe to include nonrefinery blenders and separated
blending components from finished motor gasoline as a
reporting category. In 1993, EIA made adjustments to
finished motor gasoline product supplied data to more
accurately account for fuel ethanol and motor gasoline
blending components blended into finished motor gasoline.

Note 3, Distillate and Residual Fuel Oils: In 1981, EIA


eliminated the requirement to report crude oil in pipelines or
burned on leases as either distillate or residual fuel oil.
Note 4, Petroleum New Stock Basis: In 1975, 1979,
1981, and 1983, EIA added numerous respondents to bulk
terminal and pipeline surveys; in 1984, EIA made changes
in the reporting of natural gas liquids; and in 1993, EIA
changed how it collected bulk terminal and pipeline stocks
of oxygenates. These changes affected stocks reported and
stock change calculations.
Note 5, Stocks of Alaskan Crude Oil: In 1981, EIA began
to include data for stocks of Alaskan crude oil in transit.
Note 6, Petroleum Data Discrepancies: In 1976, 1978,
and 1979, there are some small discrepancies between data
in the MER and the Petroleum Supply Annual.

Tables 3.7a3.7c Sources


Petroleum consumption data for 19491972 are from the
following sources:
19491959: Bureau of Mines, Mineral Industry Surveys,
Petroleum Statement, Annual, annual reports, and U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates.
19601972: EIA, State Energy Data System.
Petroleum consumption data beginning in 1973 are derived
from data for petroleum products supplied from the
following sources:
19731975: Bureau of Mines, Mineral Industry Surveys,
Petroleum Statement Annual, annual reports.
19761980: EIA, Energy Data Reports, Petroleum Statement Annual, annual reports.
19812012: EIA, Petroleum Statement Annual, annual
reports, and unpublished revisions.
2013: EIA, Petroleum Supply Monthly, monthly reports.
Beginning in 1973, energy-use allocation procedures by
individual product are as follows:
Asphalt and Road Oil
All consumption of asphalt and road oil is assigned to the
industrial sector.
Aviation Gasoline
All consumption of aviation gasoline is assigned to the
transportation sector.
Distillate Fuel Oil
Distillate fuel oil consumption is assigned to the sectors as
follows:
Distillate Fuel Oil Consumed by the Electric Power
Sector
See sources for Table 7.4b. For 19731979, electric utility
consumption of distillate fuel oil is assumed to be the
amount of petroleum (minus small amounts of kerosene
and kerosene-type jet fuel deliveries) consumed in gas
turbine and internal combustion plants. For 19802000,
electric utility consumption of distillate fuel oil is assumed
to be the amount of light oil (fuel oil nos. 1 and 2, plus
small amounts of kerosene and jet fuel) consumed.
Distillate Fuel Oil Consumed by the End-Use Sectors,
Annually
The aggregate end-use amount is total distillate fuel oil
supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric power
sector. The end-use total consumed annually is allocated to
the individual end-use sectors (residential, commercial,
industrial, and transportation) in proportion to each
sectors share of sales as reported in EIA's Fuel Oil and
Kerosene Sales (Sales) report series (DOE/EIA-0535),
which is based primarily on data collected by Form
EIA-821, Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

(previously Form EIA-172). Shares for the current year are


based on the most recent Sales report.
Following are notes on the individual sector groupings:
Beginning in 1979, the residential sector sales total is
directly from the Sales reports. Through 1978, each year's
sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is split
into residential, commercial, and industrial (including
farm) in proportion to the 1979 shares.
Beginning in 1979, the commercial sector sales total is
directly from the Sales reports. Through 1978, each year's
sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is split
into residential, commercial, and industrial (including farm)
in proportion to the 1979 shares.
Beginning in 1979, the industrial sector sales total is the
sum of the sales for industrial, farm, oil company,
off-highway diesel, and all other uses. Through 1978,
each year's sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial
category is split into residential, commercial, and industrial (including farm) in proportion to the 1979 shares,
and this estimated industrial portion is added to oil
company, off-highway diesel, and all other uses.
The transportation sector sales total is the sum of the sales
for railroad, vessel bunkering, on-highway diesel, and
military uses for all years.
Distillate Fuel Oil Consumed by the End-Use Sectors,
Monthly
Residential sector and commercial sector monthly
consumption is estimated by allocating the annual
estimates, which are described above, into the months in
proportion to each month's share of the year's sales of
No. 2 heating oil. (For each month of the current year,
the residential and commercial consumption increase
from the same month in the previous year is based on the
percent increase in that months No. 2 heating oil sales
from the same month in the previous year.) The years
No. 2 heating oil sales totals are from the following
sources: for 19731980, the Ethyl Corporation, Monthly
Report of Heating Oil Sales; for 1981 and 1982, the
American Petroleum Institute, Monthly Report of Heating
Oil Sales; and for 1983 forward, EIA, Form EIA-782A,
"Refiners'/Gas Plant Operators' Monthly Petroleum
Product Sales Report," No. 2 Fuel Oil Sales to End Users
and for Resale.
The transportation highway use portion is allocated into
the months in proportion to each month's share of the
year's total sales for highway use as reported by the
Federal Highway Administration's Table MF-25,
"Private and Commercial Highway Use of Special Fuels
by Months." Beginning in 1994, the sales-for-highwayuse data are no longer available as a monthly series; the
1993 data are used for allocating succeeding year's totals
into months.

A distillate fuel oil balance is calculated as total distillate


fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric
power sector, residential sector, commercial sector, and for
highway use.
Industrial sector monthly consumption is estimated by
multiplying each months distillate fuel oil balance by the
annual industrial consumption share of the annual distillate
fuel oil balance.
Total transportation sector monthly consumption is
estimated as total distillate fuel oil supplied minus the
amount consumed by the residential, commercial, industrial,
and electric power sectors.
Jet Fuel
Through 1982, small amounts of kerosene-type jet fuel were
consumed by the electric power sector. Kerosene-type jet
fuel deliveries to the electric power sector as reported on
Form FERC-423 (formerly Form FPC-423) were used as
estimates of this consumption. Through 2004, all remaining
jet fuel (kerosene-type and naphtha-type) is assigned to the
transportation sector. Beginning in 2005, kerosene-type jet
fuel is assigned to the transportation sector, while naphthatype jet fuel is classified under Other Petroleum Products,
which is assigned to the industrial sector.
Kerosene
Kerosene product supplied is allocated to the individual
end-use sectors (residential, commercial, and industrial)
in proportion to each sectors share of sales as reported in
EIA's Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales (Sales) report series
(DOE/EIA-0535), which is based primarily on data
collected by Form EIA-821, Annual Fuel Oil and
Kerosene Sales Report (previously Form EIA-172).
Beginning in 1979, the residential sector sales total is
directly from the Sales reports. Through 1978, each year's
sales category called "heating" is allocated to the residential,
commercial, and industrial sectors in proportion to the 1979
shares.
Beginning in 1979, the commercial sector sales total is
directly from the Sales reports. Through 1978, each year's
sales category called "heating" is allocated to the residential,
commercial, and industrial sectors in proportion to the 1979
shares.
Beginning in 1979, the industrial sector sales total is the
sum of the sales for industrial, farm, and all other uses.
Through 1978, each year's sales category called "heating" is
allocated to the residential, commercial and industrial
sectors in proportion to the 1979 shares, and the estimated
industrial (including farm) portion is added to all other uses.
Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG)
The annual shares of LPG's total consumption that are
estimated to be used by each sector are applied to each
month's total LPG consumption to create monthly sector

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

63

consumption estimates. The annual sector shares are


calculated as described below.
Sales of LPG to the residential and commercial sectors
combined are converted from thousand gallons per year to
thousand barrels per year and are assumed to be the
annual consumption of LPG by the combined sectors.
Beginning in 2003, residential sector LPG consumption
is assumed to equal propane retail sales, with the remainder of the combined residential and commercial LPG
consumption being assigned to the commercial sector.
Through 2002, residential sector LPG consumption is based
on the average of the state residential shares for 20032008,
with the remainder of the combined residential and commercial
LPG consumption being assigned to the commercial sector.
The quantity of LPG sold each year for consumption in
internal combustion engines is allocated between the transportation and industrial sectors on the basis of data for
special fuels used on highways published by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, in Highway Statistics. The allocations of LPG sold
for internal combustion engine use to the transportation
sector range from a low of 20 percent (in 2001) to a high of
80 percent (in 2008).
LPG consumed annually by the industrial sector is estimated
as the difference between LPG total product supplied and
the sum of the estimated LPG consumption by the residential, commercial, and transportation sectors. The industrial
sector LPG consumption includes LPG used by chemical
plants as raw materials or solvents and used in the production of synthetic rubber; refinery fuel use; use as synthetic
natural gas feedstock and use in secondary recovery
projects; all farm use; LPG sold to gas utility companies for
distribution through the mains; and a portion of the use of
LPG as an internal combustion engine fuel.
Sources of the annual sales data for creating annual energy
shares are:
19731982: EIA's "Sales of Liquefied Petroleum Gases
and Ethane" reports, based primarily on data collected by
Form EIA-174, Sales of Liquefied Petroleum Gases.
1983: End-use consumption estimates for 1983 are based
on 1982 end-use consumption because the collection of data
under Form EIA-174 was discontinued after data year 1982.
1984 forward: American Petroleum Institute (API), "Sales
of Natural Gas Liquids and Liquefied Refinery Gases,"
which is based on an LPG sales survey jointly sponsored
by API, the Gas Processors Association, and the National
Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association. EIA adjusts the data
to remove quantities of pentanes plus and to estimate
withheld values.
Lubricants
The consumption of lubricants is allocated to the industrial
and transportation sectors for all months according to proportions developed from annual sales of lubricants to the two
64

sectors from U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the


Census, Current Industrial Reports, "Sales of Lubricating and
Industrial Oils and Greases." The 1973 shares are applied to
1973 and 1974; the 1975 shares are applied to 1975 and 1976;
and the 1977 shares are applied to 1977 forward.
Motor Gasoline
The total monthly consumption of motor gasoline is
allocated to the sectors in proportion to aggregations of
annual sales categories created on the basis of the U.S.
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Highway Statistics, Tables MF-21, MF-24, and
MF-25, as follows:
Commercial sales are the sum of sales for public
non-highway use and miscellaneous and unclassified uses.
Industrial sales are the sum of sales for agriculture,
construction, and industrial and commercial use as classified in the Highway Statistics.
Transportation sales are the sum of sales for highway use
(minus the sales of special fuels, which are primarily diesel
fuel and are accounted for in the transportation sector of
distillate fuel) and sales for marine use.
Petroleum Coke
Portions of petroleum coke are consumed by the electric
power sector (see sources for Table 7.4b) and the commercial
sector (see sources for Table 7.4c). The remaining petroleum
coke is assigned to the industrial sector.
Residual Fuel Oil
Residual fuel oil consumption is assigned to the sectors as
follows:
Residual Fuel Oil Consumed by the Electric Power
Sector
See sources for Table 7.4b. For 19731979, electric utility
consumption of residual fuel oil is assumed to be the
amount of petroleum consumed in steam-electric power
plants. For 19802000, electric utility consumption of
residual fuel oil is assumed to be the amount of heavy oil
(fuel oil nos. 4, 5, and 6) consumed.
Residual Fuel Oil Consumed by the End-Use Sectors,
Annually
The aggregate end-use amount is total residual fuel oil
supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric
power sector. The end-use total consumed annually is
allocated to the individual end-use sectors (commercial,
industrial, and transportation) in proportion to each
sectors share of sales as reported in EIAs Fuel Oil and
Kerosene Sales (Sales) report series (DOE/EIA-535),
which is based primarily on data collected by Form
EIA-821, Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report
(previously Form EIA-172). Shares for the current year
are based on the most recent Sales report.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

Following are notes on the individual sector groupings:


Beginning in 1979, commercial sales data are directly
from the Sales reports. Through 1978, each year's sales
subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is
allocated to the commercial and industrial sectors in
proportion to the 1979 shares.
Beginning in 1979, industrial sales data are the sum of
sales for industrial, oil company, and all other uses.
Through 1978, each year's sales subtotal of the heating
plus industrial category is allocated to the commercial
and industrial sectors in proportion to the 1979 shares,
and the estimated industrial portion is added to oil
company and all other uses.
Transportation sales are the sum of sales for railroad,
vessel bunkering, and military uses for all years.
Residual Fuel Oil Consumed by the End-Use Sectors,
Monthly
Commercial sector monthly consumption is estimated by
allocating the annual estimates, which are described
above, into the months in proportion to each month's
share of the year's sales of No. 2 heating oil. (For each month
of the current year, the consumption increase from the same
month in the previous year is based on the percent increase in
that months No. 2 heating oil sales from the same month in
the previous year.) The years' No. 2 heating oil sales totals
are from the following sources: for 19731980, the Ethyl
Corporation, Monthly Report of Heating Oil Sales; for 1981
and 1982, the American Petroleum Institute, Monthly Report
of Heating Oil Sales; and for 1983 forward, EIA, Form
EIA-782A, "Refiners'/Gas Plant Operators' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report," No. 2 Fuel Oil Sales to End
Users and for Resale.
A residual fuel oil balance is calculated as total residual
fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the
electric power sector, commercial sector, and by industrial
combined-heat-and-power plants (see sources for Table
7.4c).
Transportation sector monthly consumption is estimated by
multiplying each months residual fuel oil balance by the
annual transportation consumption share of the annual residual fuel oil balance.
Total industrial sector monthly consumption is estimated as
total residual fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by
the commercial, transportation, and electric power sectors.
Other Petroleum Products
Consumption of all remaining petroleum products is
assigned to the industrial sector.
Other petroleum
products include pentanes plus, petrochemical feedstocks,

special naphthas, still gas (refinery gas), waxes, and


miscellaneous products. Beginning in 1981, also includes
negative barrels per day of distillate and residual fuel oil
reclassified as unfinished oils, and other products (from
both primary and secondary supply) reclassified as
gasoline blending components. Beginning in 1983, also
includes crude oil burned as fuel. Beginning in 2005, also
includes naphtha-type jet fuel.

a Gases withdrawn from natural gas, crude oil, coalbed, and shale gas wells.
Includes natural gas, natural gas plant liquids, and nonhydrocarbon gases; but
excludes lease condensate.
b Gross withdrawals minus repressuring, nonhydrocarbon gases removed, and
vented and flared. See Note 1, "Natural Gas Production," at end of section.
c See Note 2, "Natural Gas Extraction Loss," at end of section.
d Marketed production (wet) minus extraction loss.
e See Note 3, "Supplemental Gaseous Fuels," at end of section.
f Net withdrawals from underground storage. For 19802011, also includes net
withdrawals of liquefied natural gas in above-ground tanks. See Note 4, "Natural
Gas Storage," at end of section.
g See Note 5, "Natural Gas Balancing Item," at end of section. Beginning in
1980, excludes transit shipments that cross the U.S.-Canada border (i.e., natural
gas delivered to its destination via the other country).
h See Note 6, "Natural Gas Consumption," at end of section.
i Through 1979, may include unknown quantities of nonhydrocarbon gases.
j For 19891992, a small amount of consumption at independent power
producers may be counted in both "Other Industrial" and "Electric Power Sector" on
Table 4.3. See Note 7, "Natural Gas Consumption, 19891992," at end of section.

R=Revised. E=Estimate. (s)=Less than 0.5 billion cubic feet and greater than
-0.5 billion cubic feet. NA=Not available. F=Forecast.
Notes: See Note 8, "Natural Gas Data Adjustments, 19932000," at end of
section. Through 1964, all volumes are shown on a pressure base of 14.65 psia
(pounds per square inch absolute) at 60 Fahrenheit; beginning in 1965, the
pressure base is 14.73 psia at 60 Fahrenheit. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the 50 states
and the District of Columbia (except Alaska, for which underground storage is
excluded from "Net Storage Withdrawals" through 2012).
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#naturalgas (Excel
and CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly data
beginning in 1973.
Sources: Imports and Exports: Table 4.2. Consumption: Table 4.3.
Balancing Item: Calculated as consumption minus dry gas production,
supplemental gaseous fuels, net imports, and net storage withdrawals. All Other
Data: 19492007U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Natural Gas
Annual, annual reports. 2008 forwardEIA, Natural Gas Monthly, October 2013,
Table 1; and, for forecast values, EIA Short-Term Integrated Forecasting System.

For September 2013, data for this table were not available in time for publication. In their place, forecast values are being used.
Selected years of data from 1949 through 1972 have been added to this table.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

Natural Gas
Note 1. Natural Gas Production. Final annual data are
from the U.S. Energy Information Administrations (EIA)
Natural Gas Annual (NGA).
Data for the two most recent months presented are
estimated. Some of the data for earlier months are also estimated or computed. For a discussion of computation and
estimation procedures, see EIAs Natural Gas Monthly
(NGM).
Monthly data are considered preliminary until after publication
of the NGA. Preliminary monthly data are gathered from
reports to the Interstate Oil Compact Commission and the U.S.
Minerals Management Service.
Volumetric data are
converted, as necessary, to a standard pressure base of 14.73
psia (pounds per square inch absolute) at 60 Fahrenheit.
Unless there are major changes, data are not revised until after
publication of the NGA.
Differences between annual data in the NGA and the sum
of preliminary monthly data (JanuaryDecember) are allocated proportionally to the months to create final monthly
data.
Note 2. Natural Gas Extraction Loss. Extraction loss is
the reduction in volume of natural gas resulting from the
removal of natural gas liquid constituents at natural gas
processing plantsthese natural gas plant liquids are transferred to petroleum supply.
Annual data are from EIAs Natural Gas Annual (NGA),
where they are estimated on the basis of the type and quantity of liquid products extracted from the gas stream and the
calculated volume of such products at standard conditions.
For a detailed explanation of the calculations used to derive
estimated extraction losses, see the NGA.
Preliminary monthly data are estimated on the basis of
extraction loss as an annual percentage of marketed
production. This percentage is applied to each months
marketed production to estimate monthly extraction loss.
Monthly data are revised and considered final after publication
of the NGA. Final monthly data are estimated by allocating
annual extraction loss data to the months on the basis of total
natural gas marketed production data from the NGA.
Note 3. Supplemental Gaseous Fuels. Supplemental
gaseous fuels are any substances that, introduced into or
commingled with natural gas, increase the volume available for disposition. Such substances include, but are not
limited to, propane-air, refinery gas, coke oven gas, still
gas, manufactured gas, biomass gas, and air or inert gases
added for Btu stabilization.
Annual data beginning with 1980 are from EIAs Natural
Gas Annual (NGA). Unknown quantities of supplemental
gaseous fuels are included in consumption data for 1979 and
earlier years. Monthly data are considered preliminary until

after publication of the NGA. Monthly estimates are based on


the annual ratio of supplemental gaseous fuels to the sum of
dry gas production, net imports, and net withdrawals from
storage. The ratio is applied to the monthly sum of the three
elements to compute a monthly supplemental gaseous fuels
figure.
Although the total amount of supplemental gaseous fuels
consumed is known for 1980 forward, the amount consumed
by each energy-use sector is estimated by EIA. These estimates
are used to create natural gas (without supplemental gaseous
fuels) data for Tables 1.3, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.6 (note: to avoid
double-counting in these tables, supplemental gaseous fuels are
accounted for in their primary energy category: Coal, Petroleum, or Biomass). It is assumed that supplemental gaseous
fuels are commingled with natural gas consumed by the residential, commercial, other industrial, and electric power
sectors, but are not commingled with natural gas used for lease
and plant fuel, pipelines and distribution, or vehicle fuel. The
estimated consumption of supplemental gaseous fuels by each
sector (residential, commercial, other industrial, and electric
power) is calculated as that sectors natural gas consumption
(see Table 4.3) divided by the sum of natural gas consumption
by the residential, commercial, other industrial, and electric
power sectors (see Table 4.3), and then multiplied by total
supplemental gaseous fuels consumption (see Table 4.1). For
estimated sectoral consumption of supplemental gaseous fuels
in Btu, the residential, commercial, and other industrial values
in cubic feet are multiplied by the End-Use Sectors conversion factors (see Table A4), and the electric power values in
cubic feet are multiplied by the Electric Power Sector conversion factors (see Table A4). Total supplemental gaseous fuels
consumption in Btu is calculated as the sum of the Btu values
for the sectors.
Note 4. Natural Gas Storage. Natural gas in storage at
the end of a reporting period may not equal the quantity
derived by adding or subtracting net injections or withdrawals from the quantity in storage at the end of the previous
period. The difference is due to changes in the quantity of
native gas included in the base gas and/or losses in base gas
due to migration from storage reservoirs.
Total underground storage capacity, which includes both
active and inactive fields, at the end of each calendar year
since 1975 (first year data were available), in billion cubic
feet, was:

Monthly underground storage data are collected from the


Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Form FERC-8
(interstate data) and EIA Form EIA-191 (intrastate data).
Beginning in January 1991, all data are collected on the revised
Form EIA-191. Injection and withdrawal data from the FERC8/EIA-191 survey are adjusted to correspond to data from Form
EIA-176 following publication of EIAs Natural Gas Annual
(NGA).
The final monthly and annual storage and withdrawal data
for 19802011 include both underground and liquefied
natural gas (LNG) storage. Annual data on LNG additions and withdrawals are from Form EIA-176. Monthly
data are estimated by computing the ratio of each months
underground storage additions and withdrawals to annual
underground storage additions and withdrawals and
applying the ratio to the annual LNG data.
Note 5. Natural Gas Balancing Item. The balancing item
for natural gas represents the difference between the sum of
the components of natural gas supply and the sum of
components of natural gas disposition. The differences may
be due to quantities lost or to the effects of data reporting
problems. Reporting problems include differences due to the
net result of conversions of flow data metered at varying
temperature and pressure bases and converted to a standard
temperature and pressure base; the effect of variations in
company accounting and billing practices; differences between
billing cycle and calendar period time frames; and imbalances
resulting from the merger of data reporting systems that vary
in scope, format, definitions, and type of respondents.
Note 6. Natural Gas Consumption. Natural gas
consumption statistics include data for the following: Residential Sector: residential deliveries; Commercial Sector:
commercial deliveries, including to commercial combinedheat-and-power (CHP) and commercial electricity-only
plants; Industrial Sector: lease and plant fuel use, and
other industrial deliveries, including to industrial CHP and
industrial electricity-only plants; Transportation Sector:
pipelines and distribution use, and vehicle fuel use; and
Electric Power Sector: electric utility and independent
power producer use.
Final data for series other than Other Industrial CHP and
Electric Power Sector are from EIAs Natural Gas Annual
(NGA). Monthly data are considered preliminary until after
publication of the NGA. For more detailed information on the
methods of estimating preliminary and final monthly data, see
EIAs Natural Gas Monthly.
Note 7. Natural Gas Consumption, 19891992. Prior to
1993, deliveries to nonutility generators were not separately collected from natural gas companies on Form EIA176, Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas
Supply and Disposition. As a result, for 19891992,
those volumes are probably included in both the industrial
and electric power sectors and double-counted in total

74

consumption. In 1993, 0.28 trillion cubic feet was


reported as delivered to nonutility generators.
Note 8. Natural Gas Data Adjustments, 19932000. For
19932000, the original data for natural gas delivered to
industrial consumers (now Other Industrial in Table 4.3)
included deliveries to both industrial users and independent
power producers (IPPs). These data were adjusted to
remove the estimated consumption at IPPs from Other
Industrial and include it with electric utilities under Electric Power Sector. (To estimate the monthly IPP consumption,
the monthly pattern for Other Industrial CHP in Table 4.3 was
used.)
For 19962000, monthly data for several natural gas series
shown in EIAs Natural Gas Navigator (see
http://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/ng_cons_sum_dcu_nus_m.htm)
were not reconciled and updated to be consistent with the
final annual data in EIAs Natural Gas Annual. In addition,
very small amounts of LNG arrived from Canada in 1973
(667 million cubic feet), 1977 (572 million cubic feet), 1981
(6 million cubic feet), and 2013 (88 million cubic feet). The
Table 4.1 data series (and years) that were adjusted are:
Gross Withdrawals (1996, 1997), Marketed Production
(1997), Extraction Loss (1997, 1998, 2000), Dry Gas Production (1996, 1997), Supplemental Gaseous Fuels (19972000),
Balancing Item (19972000), and Total Consumption
(19972000). The Table 4.3 data series (and years) that were
adjusted are: Lease and Plant Fuel (19972000), Total Industrial (19972000), Pipelines and Distribution (2000), Total
Transportation (2000), and Total Consumption (19972000).
Note 9. Natural Gas Imports and Exports. The United
States imports natural gas via pipeline from Canada and
Mexico; and imports liquefied natural gas (LNG) via
tanker from Algeria, Australia, Brunei, Egypt, Equatorial
Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Norway, Oman,
Peru, Qatar, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. In addition, very small amounts of LNG
arrived from Canada in 1973 (667 million cubic feet),
1977 (572 million cubic feet), 1981 (6 million cubic feet),
and 2013 (228 million cubic feet). The United States
exports natural gas via pipeline to Canada and Mexico;
and exports LNG via tanker to Brazil, China, Chile, India,
Japan, Russia, South Korea, Spain, and United Kingdom.
Also, small amounts of LNG have gone to Mexico since
1998 and to Canada in 2007, 2012, and 2013. Small
amounts of compressed natural gas have been exported to
Canada since 2013.
Annual and final monthly data are from the annual EIA
Form FPC-14, Annual Report for Importers and Exporters
of Natural Gas, which requires data to be reported by
month for the calendar year.
Preliminary monthly data are EIA estimates. For a discussion
of estimation procedures, see EIAs Natural Gas Monthly.
Preliminary data are revised after publication of EIAs U.S.
Imports and Exports of Natural Gas.

a Rotary rigs in operation are reported weekly. Monthly data are averages of 4or 5-week reporting periods, not calendar months. Multi-month data are averages
of the reported data over the covered months, not averages of the weekly data.
Annual data are averages over 52 or 53 weeks, not calendar years. Published data
are rounded to the nearest whole number.
b Sum of rigs drilling for crude oil, rigs drilling for natural gas, and other rigs (not
shown) drilling for miscellaneous purposes, such as service wells, injection wells,
and stratigraphic tests. "Total" values may not equal the sum of "Onshore" and
"Offshore" due to independent rounding.
c The number of rigs doing true workovers (where tubing is pulled from the well),
or doing rod string and pump repair operations, and that are, on average, crewed
and working every day of the month.

R=Revised. NA=Not available.


Note: Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Notes: Data are estimates. For 19601969, data are for well completion
reports received by the American Petroleum Institute during the reporting year; for
all other years, data are for well completions in a given year. Through 1989,
these well counts include only the original drilling of a hole intended to discover or
further develop already discovered crude oil or natural gas resources. Other drilling
activities, such as drilling an old well deeper, drilling of laterals from the original
well, drilling of service and injection wells, and drilling for resources other than
crude oil or natural gas are excluded. Beginning in 1990, a new well is defined as
the first hole in the ground whether it is lateral or not. Due to the methodology used
to estimate ultimate well counts from the available partially reported data, the
counts shown on this page are frequently revised. See Note, "Crude Oil and

Natural Gas Exploratory and Development Wells," at end of section. Geographic


coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#crude (Excel and
CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly data
beginning in 1973.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Resource


Development
Note. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Exploratory and
Development Wells. Three well types are considered in the
Monthly Energy Review (MER) drilling statistics:
completed for crude oil, completed for natural gas, and
dry hole. Wells that productively encounter both crude
oil and natural gas are categorized as completed for crude
oil. Both development wells and exploratory wells (new
field wildcats, new pool tests, and extension tests) are
included in the statistics. All other classes of wells drilled in
connection with the search for producible hydrocarbons are
excluded. If a lateral is drilled at the same time as the original
hole it is not counted separately, but its footage is included.
Prior to the March 1985 MER, drilling statistics consisted of

completion data for the above types and classes of wells as


reported to the American Petroleum Institute (API) during a
given month. Due to time lags between the date of well
completion and the date of completion reporting to the API,
as-reported well completions proved to be an inaccurate
indicator of drilling activity. During 1982, for example,
as-reported well completions rose, while the number of
actual completions fell. Consequently, the drilling statistics
published since the March 1985 MER are U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) estimates produced by
statistically imputing well counts and footage based on the
partial data available from the API. These estimates are
subject to continuous revision as new data, some of which
pertain to earlier months and years, become available.
Additional information about the EIA estimation
methodology may be found in Estimating Well
Completions, a feature article published in the March 1985
MER.

a Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery (coal


recaptured from a refuse mine and cleaned to reduce the concentration of
noncombustible materials).
b Waste coal (including fine coal, coal obtained from a refuse bank or slurry
dam, anthracite culm, bituminous gob, and lignite waste) consumed by the electric
power and industrial sectors. Beginning in 1989, waste coal supplied is counted as
a supply-side item to balance the same amount of waste coal included in
"Consumption."
c Net imports equal imports minus exports. A minus sign indicates exports are
greater than imports.
d A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates
an increase. See Table 6.3 for stocks data coverage.
e In 1949, stock change is included in "Losses and Unaccounted for."
f The difference between calculated coal supply and disposition, due to coal

quantities lost or to data reporting problems.


R=Revised. NA=Not available. F=Forecast.
Notes: For methodology used to calculate production, consumption, and
stocks, see Note 1, "Coal Production," Note 2, "Coal Consumption," and Note 3,
"Coal Stocks," at end of section. Data values preceded by "F" are derived from
the U.S. Energy Information Administrations Short-Term Integrated Forecasting
System. See Note 4, "Coal Forecast Values," at end of section. Totals may not
equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Geographic coverage is
the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Coal
Note 1. Coal Production. Preliminary monthly estimates
of national coal production are the sum of weekly estimates
developed by the U.S. Energy Information Administration
(EIA) and published in the Weekly Coal Production report.
When a week extends into a new month, production is allocated on a daily basis and added to the appropriate month.
Weekly estimates are based on Association of American
Railroads (AAR) data showing the number of railcars
loaded with coal during the week by Class I and certain
other railroads.
Through 2001, the weekly coal production model converted
AAR data into short tons of coal by using the average
number of short tons of coal per railcar loaded reported in
the Quarterly Freight Commodity Statistics from the
Surface Transportation Board. If an average coal tonnage
per railcar loaded was not available for a specific railroad,
the national average was used. To derive the estimate of
total weekly production, the total rail tonnage for the week
was divided by the ratio of quarterly production shipped by
rail and total quarterly production. Data for the corresponding quarter of previous years were used to derive this ratio.
This method ensured that the seasonal variations were
preserved in the production estimates.
Beginning in 2002, the weekly coal production model uses
statistical autoregressive methods to estimate national coal
production as a function of railcar loadings of coal, and
heating degree-days and cooling degree-days. On Thursday
of each week, EIA receives from the AAR data for the
previous week. The latest weekly national data for heating
degree-days and cooling degree-days are obtained from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations
Climate Prediction Center. The weekly coal model is run
and a national level coal production estimate is obtained.
The weekly coal model is refit every quarter after preliminary coal data are available.
When preliminary quarterly data become available, the
monthly and weekly estimates are adjusted to conform to the
quarterly figures. The adjustment procedure uses state-level
production
data
and
is
explained
at
http://www.eia.gov/coal/production/weekly/.
Initial estimates of annual production published in January of the
following year are based on preliminary production data
covering the first nine months (three quarters) and
weekly/monthly estimates for the fourth quarter. All quarterly, monthly, and weekly production figures are adjusted
to conform to the final annual production data published in
the Monthly Energy Review in the fall of the following year.
Note 2. Coal Consumption. Forecast data (designated by
an F) are derived from forecasted values shown in EIAs
Short-Term Energy Outlook (DOE/EIA-0202) table titled
U.S. Coal Supply and Demand: Base Case. The monthly
estimates are based on the quarterly values, which are
released in March, June, September, and December. The
86

estimates are revised quarterly as collected data become available from the data sources. Sector-specific information
follows.
Residential and CommercialThrough 2007, coal consumption by the residential and commercial sectors is reported to
EIA for the two sectors combined; EIA estimates the amount
consumed by the sectors individually. To create the
estimates, it is first assumed that an occupied coal-heated
housing unit consumes fuel at the same Btu rate as an oilheated housing unit. Then, for the years in which data are
available on the number of occupied housing units by heating source (19731981 and subsequent odd-numbered
years), residential consumption of coal is estimated using
the following steps: a ratio is created of the number of
occupied housing units heated by coal to the number of
occupied housing units heated by oil; that ratio is then multiplied by the Btu quantity of oil consumed by the residential
sector to derive an estimate of the Btu quantity of coal
consumed by the residential sector; and, finally, the amount
estimated as the residential sector consumption is subtracted
from the residential and commercial sectors combined
consumption to derive the commercial sectors estimated
consumption. Beginning in 2008, residential coal consumption data are not collected by EIA, and commercial coal
consumption data are taken directly from reported data.
Industrial Coke PlantsThrough 1979, monthly coke plant
consumption data were taken directly from reported data.
For 19801987, coke plant consumption estimates were
derived by proportioning reported quarterly data by using
the ratios of monthly-to-quarterly consumption data in 1979,
the last year in which monthly data were reported. Beginning in 1988, monthly coke plant consumption estimates are
derived from the reported quarterly data by using monthly
ratios of raw steel production data from the American Iron
and Steel Institute. The ratios are the monthly raw steel
production from open hearth and basic oxygen process
furnaces as a proportion of the quarterly production from
those kinds of furnaces.
Industrial OtherThrough 1977, monthly consumption data
for the other industrial sector (all industrial users minus
coke plants) were derived by using reported data to modify
baseline consumption figures from the most recent Bureau
of the Census Annual Survey of Manufactures or Census of
Manufactures. For 1978 and 1979, monthly estimates
were derived from data reported on Forms EIA-3 and EIA6. For 19801987, monthly figures were estimated by
proportioning quarterly data by using the ratios of
monthly-to-quarterly consumption data in 1979, the last
year in which monthly data were reported on Form EIA-3.
Beginning in 1988, monthly consumption for the other
industrial sector is estimated from reported quarterly data
by using ratios derived from industrial production indices
published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System. Indices for six major industry groups are
used as the basis for calculating the ratios: food manufacturing, which is North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) code 311; paper manufacturing, NAICS

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

322; chemical manufacturing, NAICS 325; petroleum and


coal products, NAICS 324; non-metallic mineral products
manufacturing, NAICS 327; and primary metal manufacturing, NAICS 331. The monthly ratios are computed as the
monthly sum of the weighted indices as a proportion of the
quarterly sum of the weighted indices by using the 1977
proportion as the weights. Through 2007, quarterly
consumption data for the other industrial sector were
derived by adding beginning stocks at manufacturing plants
to current receipts and subtracting ending stocks at manufacturing plants. In this calculation, current receipts are the
greater of either reported receipts from manufacturing
plants (Form EIA-3) or reported shipments to the other
industrial sector (Form EIA-6), thereby ensuring that agriculture, forestry, fishing, and construction consumption
data were included where appropriate. Beginning in 2008,
quarterly consumption totals for other industrial coal
include data for manufacturing and mining only. Over
time, surveyed coal consumption data for agriculture,
forestry, fishing, and construction dwindled to about
2030 thousand short tons annually. Therefore, in 2008,
EIA consolidated its programs by eliminating agriculture,
forestry, fishing, and construction as surveyed sectors.
Electric Power SectorMonthly consumption data for electric power plants are taken directly from reported data.
Note 3. Coal Stocks. Coal stocks data are reported by
major end-use sector. Forecast data for the most recent
months (designated by an F) are derived from forecasted
values shown in EIAs Short-Term Energy Outlook
(DOE/EIA-0202) table titled U.S. Coal Supply and Demand:
Base Case. The monthly estimates are based on the quarterly values (released in March, June, September, and December) or annual values. The estimates are revised as collected
data become available from the data sources. Sector-specific
information follows.
Producers and DistributorsThrough 1997, quarterly
stocks at producers and distributors were taken directly
from reported data. Monthly data were estimated by
using one-third of the current quarterly change to indicate
the monthly change in stocks. Beginning in 1998, endof-year stocks are taken from reported data. Monthly
stocks are estimated by a model.
Residential and CommercialThrough 1979, stock estimates for the residential and commercial sector were
taken directly from reported data. For 19802007, stock
estimates were not collected. Beginning in 2008, quarterly
commercial (excluding residential) stocks data are collected
on Form EIA-3 (data for Commercial and Institutional
Coal Users).
Industrial Coke PlantsThrough 1979, monthly stocks at
coke plants were taken directly from reported data. Beginning in 1980, coke plant stocks are estimated by using onethird of the current quarterly change to indicate the monthly

change in stocks. Quarterly stocks are taken directly from


data reported on Form EIA-5.
Industrial OtherThrough 1977, stocks for the other
industrial sector were derived by using reported data to modify
baseline figures from a one-time Bureau of Mines survey of
consumers. For 19781982, monthly estimates were derived
by judgmentally proportioning reported quarterly data based on
representative seasonal patterns of supply and demand. Beginning in 1983, other industrial coal stocks are estimated as indicated above for coke plants. Quarterly stocks are taken directly
from data reported on Form EIA-3 and therefore include only
manufacturing industries; data for agriculture, forestry, fishing,
mining, and construction stocks are not available.
Electric Power SectorMonthly stocks data at electric
power plants are taken directly from reported data.
Note 4. Coal Forecast Values. Data values preceded by F
in this section are forecast values. They are derived from EIAs
Short-Term Integrated Forecasting System (STIFS). The
model is driven primarily by data and assumptions about key
macroeconomic variables, the world oil price, and weather.
The coal forecast relies on other variables as well, such as alternative fuel prices (natural gas and oil) and power generation by
sources other than fossil fuels, including nuclear and hydroelectric power. Each month, EIA staff review the model output and
make adjustments, if appropriate, based on their knowledge of
developments in the coal industry.
The STIFS model results are published monthly in EIAs
Short-Term Energy Outlook, which is accessible on the Web
at http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/steo/.

Electricity
Note 1. Coverage of Electricity Statistics. Through
1984, data for electric utilities also include institutions
(such as universities) and military facilities that generated
electricity primarily for their own use; beginning in 1985,
data for electric utilities exclude institutions and military
facilities. Data for independent power producers, commercial plants, and industrial plants include plants with a
generator nameplate capacity of one megawatt or greater;
they exclude plants with a generator nameplate capacity
less than one megawatt. Also excluded from the electricity
statistics in Section 7 are data for residential and commercial self-generation from solar energy, except for the small
amount sold to the grid and included in data for the electric
power sector.

Note 2. Classification of Power Plants Into EnergyUse Sectors. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) classifies power plants (both electricity-only
and combined-heat-and-power plants) into energy-use
sectors based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which replaced the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system in 1997. Plants with a
NAICS code of 22 are assigned to the Electric Power
Sector. Those with NAICS codes beginning with 11
(agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting); 21 (mining,
including oil and gas extraction); 23 (construction); 3133
(manufacturing); 2212 (natural gas distribution); and
22131 (water supply and irrigation systems) are assigned
to the Industrial Sector. Those with all other codes are
assigned to the Commercial Sector. Form EIA-860,
Annual Electric Generator Report, asks respondents to
indicate the primary purpose of the facility by assigning a
NAICS code from the list at
http://www.eia.gov/survey/form/eia_860/instructions.doc.

Nuclear Energy
Note 1. Operable Nuclear Reactors. A reactor is
generally defined as operable while it possessed a full-power
license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or its
predecessor the Atomic Energy Commission, or equivalent
permission to operate, at the end of the year or month
shown. The definition is liberal in that it does not exclude
units retaining full-power licenses during long, non-routine
shutdowns that for a time rendered them unable to generate
electricity. Examples are:
(a) In 1985 the five then-active Tennessee Valley Authority
(TVA) units (Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3, and Sequoyah 1 and
2) were shut down under a regulatory forced outage. All
five units were idle for several years, restarting in 2007,
1991, 1995, 1988, and 1988, respectively and were counted
as operable during the shutdowns.
(b) Shippingport was shut down from 1974 through 1976
for conversion to a light-water breeder reactor, but is
counted as operable from 1957 until its retirement in 1982.
(c) Calvert Cliffs 2 was shut down in 1989 and 1990 for
replacement of pressurizer heater sleeves but is counted as
operable during those years.
Exceptions to the definition are Shoreham and Three Mile
Island 2. Shoreham was granted a full-power license in April
1989, but was shut down two months later and never
restarted. In 1991, the license was changed to Possession
Only. Although not operable at the end of the year,
Shoreham is counted as operable during 1989. A major
accident closed Three Mile Island 2 in 1979, and although
the unit retained its full-power license for several years, it is
considered permanently shut down since that year.
The following nuclear generating units have recently been
retired: Crystal River 3 in February 2013; Kewaunee in May
2013; and San Onofre 2 and 3 in June 2013.
Note 2. Nuclear Capacity. Nuclear generating units may
have more than one type of net capacity rating, including the
following:
(a) Net Summer CapacityThe steady hourly output that
generating equipment is expected to supply to system load,

116

exclusive of auxiliary power, as demonstrated by test at the


time of summer peak demand. Auxiliary power of a typical
nuclear power plant is about 5 percent of gross generation.
(b) Net Design Capacity or Net Design Electrical Rating
(DER)The nominal net electrical output of a unit,
specified by the utility and used for plant design.
The monthly capacity factors are calculated as the monthly
nuclear electricity net generation divided by the maximum
possible nuclear electricity net generation for that month. The
maximum possible nuclear electricity net generation is the
number of hours in the month (assuming 24-hour days, with
no adjustment for changes to or from Daylight Savings Time)
multiplied by the net summer capacity of operable nuclear
generating units at the end of the month. That fraction is then
multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage. Annual capacity
factors are calculated as the annual nuclear electricity net
generation divided by the annual maximum possible nuclear
electricity net generation (the sum of the monthly values for
maximum possible nuclear electricity net generation).

Notes: The Free on Board (F.O.B.) cost at the country of origin excludes all
costs related to insurance and transportation. See "F.O.B. (Free on Board)" in
Glossary, and Note 3, "Crude Oil F.O.B. Costs," at end of section. Values for the
current two months are preliminary. Through 1980, prices reflect the period of
reporting; beginning in 1981, prices reflect the period of loading.
Annual averages are averages of the monthly prices, including prices not
published, weighted by volume. Cargoes that are purchased on a "netback"
basis, or under similar contractual arrangements whereby the actual purchase price
is not established at the time the crude oil is acquired for importation into the United
States, are not included in the published data until the actual prices have been
determined and reported. U.S. geographic coverage is the 50 states and the
District of Columbia.

Through 1980, prices reflect the period of reporting; beginning in 1981, prices
reflect the period of loading. Annual averages are averages of the monthly
prices, including prices not published, weighted by volume. Cargoes that are
purchased on a "netback" basis, or under similar contractual arrangements
whereby the actual purchase price is not established at the time the crude oil is
acquired for importation into the United States, are not included in the published
data until the actual prices have been determined and reported. U.S. geographic
coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

CSV files) for all available annual and monthly data beginning in 1973.

R=Revised. NA=Not available. =Not applicable.
Notes: Beginning in 2003, the category "Other" has been replaced by
"Transportation," and the categories "Commercial" and "Industrial" have been
redefined. Prices are calculated by dividing revenue by sales. Revenue may not
correspond to sales for a particular month because of energy service provider
billing and accounting procedures. That lack of correspondence could result in
uncharacteristic increases or decreases in the monthly prices. Prices include
state and local taxes, energy or demand charges, customer service charges,
environmental surcharges, franchise fees, fuel adjustments, and other
miscellaneous charges applied to end-use customers during normal billing
operations. Prices do not include deferred charges, credits, or other adjustments,
such as fuel or revenue from purchased power, from previous reporting periods.
Through 1979, data are for Classes A and B privately owned electric utilities only.
(Class A utilities are those with operating revenues of $2.5 million or more; Class B

utilities are those with operating revenues between $1 million and $2.5 million.) For
19801982, data are for selected Class A utilities whose electric operating
revenues were $100 million or more during the previous year. For 1983, data are
for a selected sample of electric utilities. Beginning in 1984, data are for a census
of electric utilities. Beginning in 1996, data also include energy service providers
selling to retail customers. See Note 7, "Electricity Retail Prices," at end of
section for plant coverage, and for information on preliminary and final values.
Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

a Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
b For 19732001, electric utility data are for heavy oil (fuel oil nos. 5 and 6, and

small amounts of fuel oil no. 4).


c For 19732001, electric utility data are for light oil (fuel oil nos. 1 and 2).
d For all years, includes residual fuel oil and distillate fuel oil. For 1990 forward,
also includes petroleum coke. For 19732012, also includes jet fuel, kerosene, and
waste oil. For 19832012, also includes other petroleum, such as propane and
refined motor oil.
e Natural gas, plus a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels. For
19732000, data also include a small amount of blast furnace gas and other gases
derived from fossil fuels.
f Weighted average of costs shown under "Coal," "Petroleum," and "Natural
Gas."
g Through 2001, data are for electric utilities only. Beginning in 2002, data also
include independent power producers, and electric generating plants in the

commercial and industrial sectors.


R=Revised. NA=Not available.
Notes: Receipts are purchases of fuel. Yearly costs are averages of
monthly values, weighted by quantities in Btu. For this table, there are several
breaks in the data series related to what plants and fuels are covered. Beginning in
2013, data cover all regulated generating plants; plus unregulated plants whose
total fossil-fueled nameplate generating capacity is 50 megawatts or more for coal,
and 200 megawatts or more for natural gas, residual fuel oil, distillate fuel oil, and
petroleum coke. For data coverage before 2013, see EIA, Electric Power Monthly,
Appendix C, Form EIA-923 notes, Receipts and cost and quality of fossil fuels
section. Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#prices (Excel and
CSV files) for all available annual and monthly data beginning in 1973.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

Energy Prices
Note 1. Crude Oil Refinery Acquisition Costs. Beginning with January 1981, refiner acquisition costs of crude
oil are from data collected on U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) Form EIA-14, Refiners Monthly
Cost Report. Those costs were previously published from
data collected on Economic Regulatory Administration
(ERA) Form ERA-49, Domestic Crude Oil Entitlements
Program Refiners Monthly Report. Form ERA-49 was
discontinued with the decontrol of crude oil on January 28,
1981. Crude oil purchases and costs are defined for Form
EIA-14 in accordance with conventions used for Form
ERA-49. The respondents for the two forms are also essentially the same. However, due to possible different interpretations of the filing requirements and a different method for
handling prior period adjustments, care must be taken when
comparing the data collected on the two forms.
The refiner acquisition cost of crude oil is the average
price paid by refiners for crude oil booked into their refineries in accordance with accounting procedures generally
accepted and consistently and historically applied by the
refiners concerned. Domestic crude oil is that oil produced
in the United States or from the outer continental shelf as
defined in 43 USC Section 1331. Imported crude oil is
either that oil reported on Form ERA-51, Transfer Pricing
Report, or any crude oil that is not domestic oil. The
composite cost is the weighted average of domestic and
imported crude oil costs.
Crude oil costs and volumes reported on Form ERA-49
excluded unfinished oils but included the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Crude oil costs and volumes reported
on Federal Energy Administration (FEA) Form FEA-P110M-1, Refiners Monthly Cost Allocation Report, included
unfinished oils but excluded SPR. Imported averages
derived from Form ERA-49 exclude oil purchased for SPR,
whereas the composite averages derived from Form ERA-49
include SPR. None of the prices derived from Form EIA-14
include either unfinished oils or SPR.

Note 4. Crude Oil Landed Costs. The landed cost of


imported crude oil from selected countries does not represent the total cost of all imported crude. Prior to April 1975,
imported crude costs to U.S. company-owned refineries in
the Caribbean were not included in the landed cost, and
costs of crude oil from countries that export only small
amounts to the United States were also excluded. Beginning
in April 1975, however, coverage was expanded to include
U.S. company-owned refineries in the Caribbean. Landed
costs do not include supplemental fees.
Note 5. Motor Gasoline Prices. Several different series of
motor gasoline prices are published in this section. U.S. city
average retail prices of motor gasoline by grade are calculated monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics during the
development of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). These
prices include all federal, state, and local taxes paid at the
time of sale. Prior to 1977, prices were collected in 56 urban
areas. From 1978 forward, prices are collected from a new
sample of service stations in 85 urban areas selected to
represent all urban consumersabout 80 percent of the total
U.S. population. The service stations are selected initially,
and on a replacement basis, in such a way that they represent the purchasing habits of the CPI population. Service
stations in the current sample include those providing all
types of service (i.e., full-, mini-, and self-serve).
Regular motor gasoline prices by area type are determined
by EIA in a weekly survey of retail motor gasoline outlets
(Form EIA-878, Motor Gasoline Price Survey). Prices
include all federal, state, and local taxes paid at the time of
sale. A representative sample of outlets by geographic area
and size is randomly selected from a sampling frame of
approximately 115,000 retail motor gasoline outlets.
Monthly and annual prices are simple averages of weighted
weekly estimates from "Weekly U.S. Retail Gasoline Prices,
Regular Grade." For more information on the survey methodology, see EIA, Weekly Petroleum Status Report, Appendix B, Weekly Petroleum Price Surveys section.

Note 2. Crude Oil Domestic First Purchase Prices. The


average domestic first purchase price represents the average
price at which all domestic crude oil is purchased. Crude oil
domestic first purchase prices were derived as follows: for
19491973, weighted average domestic first purchase
values as reported by state agencies and calculated by the
Bureau of Mines; for 1974 and 1975, weighted averages of
a sample survey of major first purchasers purchases; for
1976 forward, weighted averages of all first purchasers
purchases. The data series was previously called Actual
Domestic Wellhead Price.

Refiner prices of finished motor gasoline for resale and to


end users are determined by EIA in a monthly survey of
refiners and gas plant operators (Form EIA-782A). The
prices do not include any federal, state, or local taxes paid at
the time of sale. Estimates of prices prior to January 1983
are based on Form FEA-P302-M-1/EIA-460, Petroleum
Industry Monthly Report for Product Prices, and also
exclude all federal, state, or local taxes paid at the time of
sale. Sales for resale are those made to purchasers who are
other-than-ultimate consumers. Sales to end users are sales
made directly to the consumer of the product, including bulk
consumers (such as agriculture, industry, and utilities) and
residential and commercial consumers.

Note 3. Crude Oil F.O.B. Costs. F.O.B. literally means


Free on Board. It denotes a transaction whereby the seller
makes the product available with an agreement on a given
port at a given price; it is the responsibility of the buyer to
arrange for the transportation and insurance.

Note 6. Historical Petroleum Prices. Starting in January


1983, Form EIA-782, Monthly Petroleum Product Sales
Report, replaced 10 previous surveys. Every attempt was
made to continue the most important price series. However,
prices published through December 1982 and those

132

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

published since January 1983 do not necessarily form


continuous data series due to changes in survey forms, definitions, instructions, populations, samples, processing
systems, and statistical procedures. To provide historical
data, continuous series were generated for annual data
19781982 and for monthly data 1981 and 1982 by estimating the prices that would have been published had Form
EIA-782 survey and system been in operation at that time.
This form of estimation was performed after detailed adjustment was made for product and sales type matching and for
discontinuity due to other factors. An important difference
between the previous and present prices is the distinction
between wholesale and resale and between retail and end
user. The resale category continues to include sales among
resellers. However, sales to bulk consumers, such as utility,
industrial, and commercial accounts previously included in
the wholesale category, are now counted as made to end
users. The end-user category continues to include retail
sales through company-owned and operated outlets but
also includes sales to the bulk consumers such as agriculture, industry, and electric utilities. Additional information may be found in Estimated Historic Time Series for
the EIA-782, a feature article by Paula Weir, printed in
the December 1983 [3] Petroleum Marketing Monthly,
published by EIA.
Note 7. Electricity Retail Prices. Average annual retail
prices of electricity have the following plant coverage:
Through 1979, annual data are for Classes A and B
privately owned electric utilities only. For 19801982,
annual data are for selected Class A utilities whose electric
operating revenues were $100 million or more during the
previous year. For 1983, annual data are for a selected
sample of electric utilities. Beginning in 1984, data are for
a census of electric utilities. Beginning in 1996, annual
data also include energy service providers selling to retail
customers.
Average monthly retail prices of electricity have the
following plant coverage: Through 1985, monthly data are
derived from selected privately owned electric utilities
and, therefore, are not national averages. Beginning in
1986, monthly data are based on a sample of publicly and
privately owned electric utilities. Beginning in 1996,
monthly data also include energy service providers selling
to retail customers.
Preliminary monthly data are from Form EIA-826,
"Monthly Electric Sales and Revenue Report With State
Distributions Report," which is a monthly collection of
data from approximately 450 of the largest publicly and
privately owned electric utilities as well as a census of
energy service providers with retail sales in deregulated
states; a model is then applied to the collected data to estimate for the entire universe of U.S. electric utilities.
Preliminary annual data are the sum of the monthly revenues divided by the sum of the monthly sales. When final
annual data become available each year from Form EIA861, "Annual Electric Power Industry Report," their ratios

to the preliminary Form EIA-826 values are used to derive


adjusted final monthly values.
Note 8. Natural Gas Prices. Natural gas prices are
intended to include all taxes. Instructions on the data
collection forms specifically direct that all federal, state,
and local taxes, surcharges, and/or adjustments billed to
consumers are to be included. However, sales and other
taxes itemized on more than 3,000 consumers bills are
sometimes excluded by the reporting utilities. Deliveredto-consumers prices for 1987 forward represent natural
gas delivered and sold to residential, commercial, industrial, vehicle fuel, and electric power consumers. They do
not include the price of natural gas delivered on behalf of
third parties to residential, commercial, industrial, and vehicle
fuel customers except for certain states in the residential and
commercial sectors for 2002 forward. Volumes of natural gas
delivered on behalf of third parties are included in the
consumption data shown in Table 4.3. Additional information
is available in EIA, Natural Gas Monthly, Appendix C.

g Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only. Beginning in 1989, data are
for electric utilities and independent power producers.
R=Revised. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes:

The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and


combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose
primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. Totals
may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Geographic
coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

a Total corn and other biomass inputs to the production of undenatured ethanol
used for fuel ethanol.
b Losses and co-products from the production of fuel ethanol. Does not include
natural gas, electricity, and other non-biomass energy used in the production of fuel
ethanolthese are included in the industrial sector consumption statistics for the
appropriate energy source.
c The amount of denaturant in fuel ethanol produced.
d Includes denaturant.
e Through 2009, data are for fuel ethanol imports only; data for fuel ethanol
exports are not available. Beginning in 2010, data are for fuel ethanol imports
minus fuel ethanol (including industrial alcohol) exports.
f Stocks are at end of period.
g A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates
an increase.
h Consumption of fuel ethanol minus denaturant. Data for fuel ethanol minus
denaturant are used to develop data for "Renewable Energy/Biomass" in Tables
10.110.2b, as well as in Sections 1 and 2.

i Derived from the preliminary 2012 stocks value (20,677 thousand barrels), not
the final 2012 value (20,350 thousand barrels) that is shown under "Stocks."
NA=Not available.
Notes: Mbbl = thousand barrels. MMgal = million U.S. gallons. TBtu = trillion
Btu. Fuel ethanol data in thousand barrels are converted to million gallons by
multiplying by 0.042, and are converted to Btu by multiplying by the approximate
heat content of fuel ethanolsee Table A3. Through 1980, data are not
available. For 19811992, data are estimates. For 19932008, only data for
feedstock, losses and co-products, and denaturant are estimates.
Beginning in 2009, only data for feedstock, and losses and co-products, are
estimates. See "Denaturant," "Ethanol," "Fuel Ethanol," and "Fuel Ethanol Minus
Denaturant" in Glossary. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of
Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#renewable (Excel
and CSV files) for all available annual and monthly data beginning in 1981.

Renewable Energy
Note. Renewable Energy Production and Consumption. In Tables 1.1, 1.3, and 10.1, renewable energy
consumption consists of: conventional hydroelectricity net
generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat
ratesee Table A6); geothermal electricity net generation
(converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat ratesee Table
A6), and geothermal heat pump and geothermal direct use
energy; solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity net
generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat rate
see Table A6), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind
electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossilfuels heat ratesee Table A6); wood and wood-derived
fuels consumption; biomass waste (municipal solid waste
from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, and other biomass) consumption; fuel
ethanol (minus denaturant) and biodiesel consumption; and
losses and co-products from the production of fuel ethanol
and biodiesel. In Tables 1.1, 1.2, and 10.1, renewable
energy production is assumed to equal consumption for all
renewable energy sources except biofuels (biofuels
production comprises biomass inputs to the production of
fuel ethanol and biodiesel).

denaturant minus fuel ethanol production.

Denaturant
19812008:
Data in thousand barrels for petroleum
denaturant in fuel ethanol produced are estimated as 2
percent of fuel ethanol production; these data are converted
to Btu by multiplying by 4.645 million Btu per barrel (the
estimated quantity-weighted factor of pentanes plus and
conventional motor gasoline used as denaturant).
20092012: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA),
Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA), annual reports, Table 1.
Data in thousand barrels for net production of pentanes plus
at renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are multiplied by
-1; these data are converted to Btu by multiplying by 4.620
million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat content of
pentanes plus). Data in thousand barrels for net production
of conventional motor gasoline and motor gasoline blending
components at renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are
multiplied by -1; these data are converted to Btu by multiplying by 5.253 million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat
content of conventional motor gasoline). Total denaturant is
the sum of the values for pentanes plus, conventional motor
gasoline, and motor gasoline blending components.
2013: EIA, Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), monthly
reports, Table 1. Data in thousand barrels for net production
of pentanes plus at renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are

multiplied by -1; these data are converted to Btu by multiplying by 4.620 million Btu per barrel (the approximate
heat content of pentanes plus). Data in thousand barrels for
net production of conventional motor gasoline and motor
gasoline blending components at renewable fuels and
oxygenate plants are multiplied by -1; these data are

20012011: For imports, U.S. Department of Agriculture,


data for the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes:
3824.90.40.20, Fatty Esters Animal/Vegetable Mixture
(data through June 2010); and 3824.90.40.30,
Biodiesel/Mixes (data for July 20102011). For exports,
U.S. Department of Agriculture, data for the following
Schedule B codes: 3824.90.40.00, Fatty Substances
Animal/Vegetable/Mixture (data through 2010); and
3824.90.40.30, Biodiesel <70% (data for 2011). (The
data above are converted from pounds to gallons by dividing by 7.4.) Although these categories include products
other than biodiesel (such as biodiesel coprocessed with
petroleum feedstocks; and products destined for soaps,
cosmetics, and other items), biodiesel is the largest component. In the absence of other reliable data for biodiesel
trade, EIA sees these data as good substitutes.
2012: EIA, Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA), annual
report, Tables 25 and 31, data for biomass-based diesel
fuel.
2013: EIA, Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), monthly
reports, Tables 37 and 49, data for biomass-based diesel
fuel.

Stocks and Stock Change


20092012: EIA, PSA, annual reports, Table 1, data for
renewable fuels except fuel ethanol.
2013: EIA, PSM, monthly reports, Table 1, data for renewable fuels except fuel ethanol.

Balancing Item
2009 forward: Calculated as biodiesel consumption and
biodiesel stock change minus biodiesel production and
biodiesel net imports.

Consumption
20012008: Calculated as biodiesel production plus biodiesel net imports.
January and February 2009: EIA, PSA, Table 1, data for
refinery and blender net inputs of renewable fuels except
fuel ethanol.
March 2009 forward: Calculated as biodiesel production
plus biodiesel net imports minus biodiesel stock change.

a Except for the period from August 1990 through May 1991, includes about
one-half of the production in the Kuwait-Saudi Arabia Neutral Zone. Kuwaiti Neutral
Zone output was discontinued following Iraqs invasion of Kuwait on August 2,
1990, but was resumed in June 1991. In September 2013, Neutral Zone production
by both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia totaled about 520 thousand barrels per day. Data
for Saudi Arabia include approximately 150 thousand barrels per day from the Abu
Safah field produced on behalf of Bahrain.
b See Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in Glossary.
On Tables 11.1a and 11.1b, countries are classified as "OPEC" or "Non-OPEC" in
all years based on their status in the most current year. For example, Ecuador
rejoined OPEC in 2007, and is thus included in "Total OPEC" for all years; and

Libya

Nigeria

Indonesia left OPEC at the end of 2008, and is thus included in "Total Non-OPEC"
for all years.
R=Revised.
Notes: Data are for crude oil and lease condensate; they exclude natural gas
plant liquids. Monthly data are often preliminary figures and may not average to
the annual totals because of rounding or because updates to the preliminary

(including strategic reserves), unfinished oils, natural gas plant liquids, and refined
products. In the United States in January 1975, 1981, and 1983, numerous
respondents were added to bulk terminal and pipeline surveys, thereby affecting
subsequent stocks reported. New-basis end-of-year U.S. stocks, in million barrels,
would have been 1,121 in 1974, 1,425 in 1980, and 1,461 in 1982. Totals may
not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. U.S. geographic
coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

useful thermal output) in the electric power sector are allocated to the end-use
sectors in proportion to each sectors share of total electricity retail sales. See
Tables 7.6 and 12.6.
g Excludes emissions from biomass energy consumption. See Table 12.7.
h Beginning in 1978, the small amounts of coal consumed for transportation are
reported as industrial sector consumption.

Environment
Note 1. Emissions of Carbon Dioxide and Other Greenhouse Gases. Greenhouse gases are those gasessuch as
water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide,
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and
sulfur hexafluoridethat are transparent to solar (shortwave) radiation but opaque to long-wave (infrared) radiation,
thus preventing long-wave radiant energy from leaving
Earth's atmosphere. The net effect is a trapping of absorbed
radiation and a tendency to warm the planet's surface.
Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions account for about
98 percent of U.S. CO2 emissions. The vast majority of CO2
emissions come from fossil fuel combustion, with smaller
amounts from the nonfuel use of fossil fuels, as well as from
electricity generation using geothermal energy and nonbiomass waste. Other sources of CO2 emissions include
industrial processes, such as cement and limestone production. Data in the U.S. Energy Information Administrations
(EIA) Monthly Energy Review (MER) Tables 12.112.6 are
estimates for U.S. CO2 emissions from energy consumption,
including the nonfuel use of fossil fuels (excluded are estimates for CO2 emissions from biomass energy consumption,
which appear in Table 12.7).
For annual U.S. estimates for emissions of CO2 from all
sources, as well as for emissions of other greenhouse gases,
see EIAs Emissions of Greenhouse Gases Report at
http://www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/ghg_report/.
Note 2. Accounting for Carbon Dioxide Emissions From
Biomass Energy Combustion. Carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions from the combustion of biomass to produce
energy are excluded from the energy-related CO2 emissions
reported in MER Tables 12.112.6, but appear in Table
12.7. According to current international convention (see the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes 2006 IPCC
Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories),
carbon released through biomass combustion is excluded
from reported energy-related emissions. The release of
carbon from biomass combustion is assumed to be balanced
by the uptake of carbon when the feedstock is grown, resulting
in zero net emissions over some period of time. (This is not to
say that biomass energy is carbon-neutral. Energy inputs are
required in order to grow, fertilize, and harvest the feedstock
and to produce and process the biomass into fuels.)
However, analysts have debated whether increased use of
biomass energy may result in a decline in terrestrial carbon
stocks, leading to a net positive release of carbon rather than
the zero net release assumed by its exclusion from reported
energy-related emissions. For example, the clearing of
forests for biofuel crops could result in an initial release of
carbon that is not fully recaptured in subsequent use of the
land for agriculture.
To reflect the potential net emissions, the international
convention for greenhouse gas inventories is to report

biomass emissions in the category agriculture, forestry, and


other land use, usually based on estimates of net changes in
carbon stocks over time.
This indirect accounting of CO2 emissions from biomass can
potentially lead to confusion in accounting for and understanding the flow of CO2 emissions within energy and nonenergy systems. In recognition of this issue, reporting of
CO2 emissions from biomass combustion alongside other
energy-related CO2 emissions offers an alternative accounting treatment. It is important, however, to avoid misinterpreting emissions from fossil energy and biomass energy
sources as necessarily additive. Instead, the combined total
of direct CO2 emissions from biomass and energy-related
CO2 emissions implicitly assumes that none of the carbon
emitted was previously or subsequently reabsorbed in terrestrial sinks or that other emissions sources offset any such
sequestration.

Section 12 Methodology and Sources


To estimate carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption for the Monthly Energy Review (MER), Tables 12.112.7,
the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) uses the
following methodology and sources:
Step 1. Determine Fuel Consumption
CoalCoal sectoral (residential, commercial, coke plants,
other industrial, transportation, electric power) consumption
data in thousand short tons are from MER Table 6.2. Coal
sectoral consumption data are converted to trillion Btu by
multiplying by the coal heat content factors in MER Table
A5.
Coal Coke Net ImportsCoal coke net imports data in trillion Btu are derived from coal coke imports and exports data
in MER Tables 1.4a and 1.4b.
Natural Gas (excluding supplemental gaseous fuels)Natural gas sectoral consumption data in trillion Btu are from
MER Tables 2.22.6.
PetroleumTotal and sectoral consumption (product
supplied) data in thousand barrels per day for asphalt and
road oil, aviation gasoline, distillate fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), lubricants, motor
gasoline, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil are from
MER Tables 3.5 and 3.7a3.7c. For the component products of LPG (ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal
butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene) and other
petroleum (aviation gasoline blending components, crude
oil, motor gasoline blending components, naphthas for
petrochemical feedstock use, other oils for petrochemical
feedstock use, pentanes plus, special naphthas, still gas,
unfinished oils, waxes, and miscellaneous petroleum products), consumption (product supplied) data in thousand
barrels per day are from EIAs Petroleum Supply Annual
(PSA), Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), and earlier

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

167

publications (see sources for MER Table 3.5). Petroleum


consumption data by product are converted to trillion Btu by
multiplying by the petroleum heat content factors in MER
Table A1 (Table A3 for motor gasoline).
BiomassSectoral consumption data in trillion Btu for
wood, biomass waste, fuel ethanol (minus denaturant), and
biodiesel are from MER Tables 10.2a10.2c.
Step 2. Remove Biofuels From Petroleum
Distillate Fuel OilBeginning in 2009, the distillate fuel
oil data (for total and transportation sector) in Step 1
include biodiesel, a non-fossil renewable fuel. To remove
the biodiesel portion from distillate fuel oil, data in thousand barrels per day for refinery and blender net inputs of
renewable diesel fuel (from the PSA/PSM) are converted
to trillion Btu by multiplying by the biodiesel heat content
factor in MER Table A3, and then subtracted from the
distillate fuel oil consumption values.
Motor GasolineBeginning in 1993, the motor gasoline
data (for total, commercial sector, industrial sector, and
transportation sector) in Step 1 include fuel ethanol, a nonfossil renewable fuel. To remove the fuel ethanol portion
from motor gasoline, data in trillion Btu for fuel ethanol
consumption (from MER Tables 10.2a, 10.2b, and 10.3)
are subtracted from the motor gasoline consumption
values. (Note that about 2 percent of fuel ethanol is fossilbased petroleum denaturant, to make the fuel ethanol
undrinkable. For 19932008, petroleum denaturant is
double counted in the PSA product supplied statistics, in
both the original product categorye.g., pentanes
plusand also in the finished motor gasoline category; for
this time period for MER Section 12, petroleum denaturant
is removed along with the fuel ethanol from motor gasoline, but left in the original product. Beginning in 2009,
petroleum denaturant is counted only in the PSA/PSM
product supplied statistics for motor gasoline; for this time
period for MER Section 12, petroleum denaturant is left in
motor gasoline.)
Step 3. Remove Carbon Sequestered by Nonfuel Use
The following fuels have industrial nonfuel uses as chemical feedstocks and other products: coal, natural gas, asphalt
and road oil, distillate fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gases
(ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene), lubricants (which have
industrial and transportation nonfuel uses), naphthas for
petrochemical feedstock use, other oils for petrochemical
feedstock use, pentanes plus, petroleum coke, residual fuel
oil, special naphthas, still gas, waxes, and miscellaneous
petroleum products. In the nonfuel use of these fuels, some
of the carbon is sequestered, and is thus subtracted from the
fuel consumption values in Steps 1 and 2.
Estimates of annual nonfuel use and associated carbon
sequestration are developed by EIA using the methodology
168

detailed in Documentation for Emissions of Greenhouse


Gases
in
the
United
States
2008
at
http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/documentation/pdf/0638(2006).pdf.

To obtain monthly estimates of nonfuel use and associated


carbon sequestration, monthly patterns for industrial
consumption and product supplied data series are used. For
coal nonfuel use, the monthly pattern for coke plants coal
consumption from MER Table 6.2 is used. For natural gas,
the monthly pattern for other industrial non-CHP natural gas
consumption from MER Table 4.3 is used. For distillate
fuel oil, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil, the monthly
patterns for industrial consumption from MER Table 3.7b
are used. For the other petroleum products, the monthly
patterns for product supplied from the PSA and PSM are
used.
Step 4. Determine Carbon Dioxide Emissions From
Energy Consumption
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions data in million metric tons
are calculated by multiplying consumption values in trillion
Btu from Steps 1 and 2 (minus the carbon sequestered in
nonfuel use in Step 3) by the CO2 emissions factors at
http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/excel/CO2_coeffs_09_v2.xls.
Beginning in 2010, the 2009 factors are used.
CoalCO2 emissions for coal are calculated for each sector
(residential, commercial, coke plants, other industrial, transportation, electric power). Total coal emissions are the sum
of the sectoral coal emissions.
Coal Coke Net ImportsCO2 emissions for coal coke net
imports are calculated.
Natural GasCO2 emissions for natural gas are calculated
for each sector (residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, electric power). Total natural gas emissions are the
sum of the sectoral natural gas emissions.
PetroleumCO2 emissions are calculated for each petroleum
product. Total petroleum emissions are the sum of the product
emissions. Total LPG emissions are the sum of the emissions
for the component products (ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene); residential, commercial, and transportation sector LPG emissions
are estimated by multiplying consumption values in trillion
Btu from MER Tables 3.8a and 3.8c by the propane emissions factor; industrial sector LPG emissions are estimated as
total LPG emissions minus emissions by the other sectors.
Geothermal and Non-Biomass WasteAnnual CO2 emissions data for geothermal and non-biomass waste are EIA
estimates based on Form EIA-923, Power Plant Operations Report (and predecessor forms). Monthly estimates
are created by dividing the annual data by the number of
days in the year and then multiplying by the number of
days in the month. (Annual estimates for the current year
are set equal to those of the previous year.)

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

BiomassCO2 emissions for wood, biomass waste, fuel


ethanol (minus denaturant), and biodiesel are calculated for
each sector. Total emissions for each biomass fuel are the
sum of the sectoral emissions. The following factors, in
million metric tons CO2 per quadrillion Btu, are used: wood
93.80; biomass waste90.70; fuel ethanol68.44; and
biodiesel73.84. For 19731988, the biomass portion

of waste in MER Tables 10.2a10.2c is estimated as 67


percent; for 19892000, the biomass portion of waste is estimated as 67 percent in 1989 to 58 percent in 2000, based on
the biogenic shares of total municipal solid waste shown in
EIAs Methodolology for Allocating Municipal Solid
Waste to Biogenic and Non-Biogenic Energy, Table 1 at
http://www.eia.gov/cneaf/solar.renewables/page/mswaste/msw.pdf.

Appendix A
British Thermal Unit Conversion Factors
The thermal conversion factors presented in the following
tables can be used to estimate the heat content in British
thermal units (Btu) of a given amount of energy measured
in physical units, such as barrels or cubic feet. For
example, 10 barrels of asphalt has a heat content of
approximately 66.36 million Btu (10 barrels x 6.636 million
Btu per barrel = 66.36 million Btu).
The heat content rates (i.e., thermal conversion factors)
provided in this section represent the gross (or higher or
upper) energy content of the fuels. Gross heat content rates
are applied in all Btu calculations for the Monthly Energy
Review and are commonly used in energy calculations in
the United States; net (or lower) heat content rates are
typically used in European energy calculations. The difference between the two rates is the amount of energy that is
consumed to vaporize water that is created during the
combustion process. Generally, the difference ranges from
2 percent to 10 percent, depending on the specific fuel and
its hydrogen content. Some fuels, such as unseasoned
wood, can be more than 40 percent different in their gross

and net heat content rates.


See Heat Content and
British Thermal Unit (Btu) in the Glossary for more
information.
Thermal conversion factors for hydrocarbon mixes (Table
A1) are weighted averages of the thermal conversion factors
for each hydrocarbon included in the mix. For example, in
calculating the thermal conversion factor for a 60-40 butanepropane mixture, the thermal conversion factor for butane is
weighted 1.5 times the thermal conversion factor for
propane.
In general, the annual thermal conversion factors presented
in Tables A2 through A6 are computed from final annual
data or from the best available data and labeled preliminary. Often, the previous years factor is used as a
preliminary value until data become available to calculate
the factor appropriate to the year. The source of each factor
is described in the section entitled Thermal Conversion
Factor Source Documentation, which follows Table A6 in
this appendix.

a Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant liquids and crude oil burned directly as fuel. Quantity-weighted averages of the petroleum products included in
each category are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1.
b Beginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline.
c Beginning in 2009, includes renewable diesel fuel (including biodiesel) blended into distillate fuel oil.
d Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the
public. Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only; beginning in 1989, data are for electric utilities and independent power producers.
e Electric power sector factors are weighted average heat contents for distillate fuel oil, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil; they exclude other liquids.
f There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1966 and 1967; beginning in 1967, the single constant factor is replaced by a quantity-weighted
factorquantity-weighted averages of the major components of liquefied petroleum gases are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1.
g There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1993 and 1994; beginning in 1994, the single constant factor is replaced by a quantity-weighted
factorquantity-weighted averages of the major components of motor gasoline, including fuel ethanol, are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1.
h Includes denaturant (petroleum added to ethanol to make it undrinkable). Fuel ethanol factors are weighted average heat contents for undenatured ethanol (3.539
million Btu per barrel), pentanes plus used as denaturant (4.620 million Btu per barrel), and conventional motor gasoline and motor gasoline blending components used as
denaturant (5.253 million Btu per barrel). The factor for 2009 is used as the estimated factor for 19802008.
i Corn input to the production of undenatured ethanol (million Btu corn per barrel undenatured ethanol), used as the factor to estimate total biomass inputs to the
production of undenatured ethanol. Observed ethanol yields (gallons undenatured ethanol per bushel of corn) are 2.5 in 1980, 2.666 in 1998, 2.68 in 2002, and 2.764 in
2009; yields in other years are estimated. Corn is assumed to have a gross heat content of 0.392 million Btu per bushel. Undenatured ethanol is assumed to have a gross
heat content of 3.539 million Btu per barrel.
j Soybean oil input to the production of biodiesel (million Btu soybean oil per barrel biodiesel), used as the factor to estimate total biomass inputs to the production of
biodiesel. It is assumed that 7.65 pounds of soybean oil are needed to produce one gallon of biodiesel, and 5.433 million Btu of soybean oil are needed to produce one
barrel of biodiesel. Soybean oil is assumed to have a gross heat content of 16,909 Btu per pound, or 5.483 million Btu per barrel. Biodiesel is assumed to have a gross heat
content of 17,253 Btu per pound, or 5.359 million Btu per barrel.
P=Preliminary. E=Estimate. NA=Not available.
Note: The heat content values in this table are for gross heat contents. See "Heat Content" in Glossary.

a Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery (coal recaptured from a refuse mine, and cleaned to reduce the concentration of noncombustible
materials).
b Waste coal (including fine coal, coal obtained from a refuse bank or slurry dam, anthracite culm, bituminous gob, and lignite waste) consumed by the electric power and
industrial sectors. Beginning in 1989, waste coal supplied is counted as a supply-side item to balance the same amount of waste coal included in "Consumption."
c Through 2007, used as the thermal conversion factor for coal consumption by the residential and commercial sectors. Beginning in 2008, used as the thermal
conversion factor for coal consumption by the commercial sector only.
d Includes transportation. Excludes coal synfuel plants.
e Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the
public. Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only; beginning in 1989, data are for electric utilities and independent power producers.
f Electric power sector factors are for anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, waste coal, and, beginning in 1998, coal synfuel.

Electricity Net Generation, Noncombustible Renewable
Energy. There is no generally accepted practice for
measuring the thermal conversion rates for power plants
that generate electricity from hydro, geothermal, solar
thermal, photovoltaic, and wind energy sources. Therefore,
EIA calculates a rate factor that is equal to the annual
average heat rate factor for fossil-fueled power plants in the
United States (see Electricity Net Generation, Total Fossil
Fuels). By using that factor it is possible to evaluate fossil
fuel requirements for replacing those sources during
periods of interruption, such as droughts.
Electricity Net Generation, Nuclear. 19571984:
Calculated annually by dividing the total heat content
consumed in nuclear generating units by the total (net)
electricity generated by nuclear generating units. The heat
content and electricity generation were reported on Form
FERC-1, Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Others; Form EIA-412, Annual Report of Public
Electric Utilities; and predecessor forms. For 1982, the
factors were published in EIA, Historical Plant Cost and
Annual Production Expenses for Selected Electric Plants
1982, page 215. For 1983 and 1984, the factors were
published in EIA, Electric Plant Cost and Power Production
Expenses 1991, Table 13. 1985 forward: Calculated

Appendix B
Metric Conversion Factors, Metric Prefixes, and Other Physical
Conversion Factors
Data presented in the Monthly Energy Review and in other
U.S. Energy Information Administration publications are
expressed predominately in units that historically have been used
in the United States, such as British thermal units, barrels, cubic
feet, and short tons. The metric conversion factors presented in
Table B1 can be used to calculate the metric-unit equivalents of
values expressed in U.S. Customary units. For example, 500
short tons are the equivalent of 453.6 metric tons (500 short tons
x 0.9071847 metric tons/short ton = 453.6 metric tons).
In the metric system of weights and measures, the names
of multiples and subdivisions of any unit may be derived

by combining the name of the unit with prefixes, such as


deka, hecto, and kilo, meaning, respectively, 10, 100,
1,000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively,
one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth. Common
metric prefixes can be found in Table B2.
The conversion factors presented in Table B3 can be used to
calculate equivalents in various physical units commonly
used in energy analyses. For example, 10 barrels are the
equivalent of 420 U.S. gallons (10 barrels x 42
gallons/barrel = 420 gallons).

Glossary
Alcohol: The family name of a group of organic chemical
compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
The series of molecules vary in chain length and are
composed of a hydrocarbon plus a hydroxyl group;
CH(3)-(CH(2))n-OH (e.g., methanol, ethanol, and tertiary
butyl alcohol). See Fuel Ethanol.
Alternative Fuel: Alternative fuels, for transportation
applications, include the following: methanol; denatured
ethanol, and other alcohols; fuel mixtures containing 85
percent or more by volume of methanol, denatured ethanol,
and other alcohols with motor gasoline or other fuels;
natural gas; liquefied petroleum gas (propane); hydrogen; coal-derived liquid fuels; fuels (other than alcohol)
derived from biological materials (biofuels such as soy
diesel fuel); electricity (including electricity from solar
energy); and "... any other fuel the Secretary determines,
by rule, is substantially not petroleum and would yield
substantial energy security benefits and substantial environmental benefits." The term "alternative fuel" does not
include alcohol or other blended portions of primarily
petroleum-based fuels used as oxygenates or extenders,
i.e., MTBE, ETBE, other ethers, and the 10-percent ethanol
portion of gasohol.
Alternative-Fuel Vehicle (AFV): A vehicle designed to
operate on an alternative fuel (e.g., compressed natural
gas, methane blend, or electricity). The vehicle could be
either a dedicated vehicle designed to operate exclusively
on alternative fuel or a nondedicated vehicle designed to
operate on alternative fuel and/or a traditional fuel.
Anthracite: The highest rank of coal; used primarily for
residential and commercial space heating. It is a hard, brittle, and black lustrous coal, often referred to as hard coal,
containing a high percentage of fixed carbon and a low
percentage of volatile matter. The moisture content of
fresh-mined anthracite generally is less than 15 percent.
The heat content of anthracite ranges from 22 to 28
million Btu per short ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free
basis. The heat content of anthracite coal consumed in the
United States averages 25 million Btu per short ton, on the
as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture
and mineral matter). Note: Since the 1980's, anthracite
refuse or mine waste has been used for steam-electric
power generation. This fuel typically has a heat content of
15 million Btu per ton or less.
Anthropogenic: Made or generated by a human or caused
by human activity. The term is used in the context of global
climate change to refer to gaseous emissions that are the
result of human activities, as well as other potentially
climate-altering activities, such as deforestation.

Asphalt: A dark-brown-to-black cement-like material


containing bitumens as the predominant constituents
obtained by petroleum processing. The definition includes
crude asphalt as well as the following finished products:
cements, fluxes, the asphalt content of emulsions (exclusive of water), and petroleum distillates blended with
asphalt to make cutback asphalts.
ASTM: The American Society for Testing and Materials.
Aviation Gasoline Blending Components: Naphthas that
will be used for blending or compounding into finished
aviation gasoline (e.g., straight run gasoline, alkylate,
reformate, benzene, toluene, and xylene). Excludes
oxygenates (alcohols, ethers), butane, and pentanes plus.
Aviation Gasoline, Finished: A complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons with or without small quantities of additives, blended to form a fuel suitable for use in
aviation reciprocating engines. Fuel specifications are
provided in ASTM Specification D 910 and Military
Specification MIL-G-5572.
Note: Data on blending
components are not counted in data on finished aviation
gasoline.
Barrel (Petroleum): A unit of volume equal to 42 U.S.
Gallons.
Base Gas: The volume of gas needed as a permanent inventory to maintain adequate underground storage reservoir pressures and deliverability rates throughout the withdrawal
season. All native gas is included in the base gas volume.
Biodiesel: A fuel typically made from soybean, canola, or
other vegetable oils; animal fats; and recycled grease. It
can serve as a substitute for petroleum-derived diesel fuel
or distillate fuel oil. For U.S. Energy Information Administration reporting, it is a fuel composed of mono-alkyl
esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils
or animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the requirements of ASTM (American Society for Testing & Materials)
D 6751.
Biofuels: Liquid fuels and blending components produced
from biomass (plant) feedstocks, used primarily for transportation. See Biodiesel and Fuel Ethanol.
Biogenic: Produced by biological processes of living organisms. Note: EIA uses the term biogenic to refer only to
organic nonfossil material of biological origin.
Biomass: Organic non-fossil material of biological origin
constituting a renewable energy source. See Biodiesel,

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

187

Biofuels, Biomass Waste, Fuel Ethanol, and Wood and


Wood-Derived Fuels.
Biomass Waste: Organic non-fossil material of biological origin that is a byproduct or a discarded product.
Biomass waste includes municipal solid waste from
biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural
crop byproducts, straw, and other biomass solids, liquids,
and gases; but excludes wood and wood-derived fuels
(including black liquor), biofuels feedstock, biodiesel,
and fuel ethanol. Note: EIA biomass waste data also
include energy crops grown specifically for energy production, which would not normally constitute waste.
Bituminous Coal: A dense coal, usually black, sometimes dark brown, often with well-defined bands of
bright and dull material, used primarily as fuel in steamelectric power generation, with substantial quantities also
used for heat and power applications in manufacturing
and to make coke. Bituminous coal is the most abundant
coal in active U.S. mining regions. Its moisture content
usually is less than 20 percent. The heat content of bituminous coal ranges from 21 to 30 million Btu per short
ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat
content of bituminous coal consumed in the United States
averages 24 million Btu per short ton, on the as-received
basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and mineral
matter).
Black Liquor: A byproduct of the paper production process, alkaline spent liquor, that can be used as a source of
energy. Alkaline spent liquor is removed from the digesters in the process of chemically pulping wood. After
evaporation, the residual "black" liquor is burned as a fuel
in a recovery furnace that permits the recovery of certain
basic chemicals.
British Thermal Unit (Btu): The quantity of heat
required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of liquid
water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at the temperature at which
water has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees
Fahrenheit). See Heat Content.
Btu: See British Thermal Unit.
Btu Conversion Factor: A factor for converting energy
data between one unit of measurement and British thermal units (Btu). Btu conversion factors are generally
used to convert energy data from physical units of measure (such as barrels, cubic feet, or short tons) into the
energy-equivalent
measure
of
Btu.
(See
http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#appendices
for further information on Btu conversion factors.)
Butane: A normally gaseous straight-chain or branchedchain hydrocarbon (C4H10). It is extracted from natural
gas or refinery gas streams. It includes isobutane and
normal butane and is designated in ASTM Specification
D1835 and Gas Processors Association Specifications for
commercial butane.
188

Isobutane: A normally gaseous branched-chain hydrocarbon.


It is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of
10.9 F. It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas
streams.
Normal Butane: A normally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon. It is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of 31.1 F. It is extracted from natural gas or refinery
gas streams.
Butylene: An olefinic hydrocarbon (C4H8) recovered from
refinery processes.
Capacity Factor: The ratio of the electrical energy
produced by a generating unit for a given period of time
to the electrical energy that could have been produced at
continuous full-power operation during the same period.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2): A colorless, odorless, nonpoisonous gas that is a normal part of Earth's atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is a product of fossil-fuel combustion as
well as other processes. It is considered a greenhouse gas
as it traps heat (infrared energy) radiated by the Earth into
the atmosphere and thereby contributes to the potential
for global warming. The global warming potential
(GWP) of other greenhouse gases is measured in relation
to that of carbon dioxide, which by international scientific
convention is assigned a value of one (1).
Chained Dollars: A measure used to express real prices.
Real prices are those that have been adjusted to remove the
effect of changes in the purchasing power of the dollar; they
usually reflect buying power relative to a reference year.
Prior to 1996, real prices were expressed in constant
dollars, a measure based on the weights of goods and services in a single year, usually a recent year. In 1996, the
U.S. Department of Commerce introduced the chaineddollar measure. The new measure is based on the average
weights of goods and services in successive pairs of years.
It is chained because the second year in each pair, with
its weights, becomes the first year of the next pair. The
advantage of using the chained-dollar measure is that it is
more closely related to any given period and is therefore
subject to less distortion over time.
CIF: See Cost, Insurance, Freight.
Citygate: A point or measuring station at which a distribution gas utility receives gas from a natural gas pipeline
company or transmission system.
Climate Change: A term used to refer to all forms of
climatic inconsistency, but especially to significant change
from one prevailing climatic condition to another. In
some cases, "climate change" has been used synonymously with the term "global warming"; scientists,
however, tend to use the term in a wider sense inclusive of
natural changes in climate, including climatic cooling.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

Coal: A readily combustible black or brownish-black rock


whose composition, including inherent moisture, consists
of more than 50 percent by weight and more than 70
percent by volume of carbonaceous material. It is formed
from plant remains that have been compacted, hardened,
chemically altered, and metamorphosed by heat and pressure over geologic time. See Anthracite, Bituminous
Coal, Lignite, Subbituminous Coal, Waste Coal, and
Coal Synfuel.
Coal Coke: See Coke, Coal.
Coal Stocks: Coal quantities that are held in storage for
future use and disposition. Note: When coal data are collected
for a particular reporting period (month, quarter, or year), coal
stocks are commonly measured as of the last day of the period.
Coal Synfuel: Coal-based solid fuel that has been processed by a coal synfuel plant; and coal-based fuels such as
briquettes, pellets, or extrusions, which are formed from
fresh or recycled coal and binding materials.
Coal Synfuel Plant: A plant engaged in the chemical transformation of coal into coal synfuel.
Coke, Coal: A solid carbonaceous residue derived from
low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal from which the volatile constituents are driven off by baking in an oven at
temperatures as high as 2,000 F so that the fixed carbon
and residual ash are fused together. Coke is used as a fuel
and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast
furnace. Coke (coal) has a heating value of 24.8 million
Btu per ton.
Coke, Petroleum: A residue high in carbon content and
low in hydrogen that is the final product of thermal decomposition in the condensation process in cracking. This product is reported as marketable coke or catalyst coke. The
conversion is 5 barrels (42 U.S. gallons each) per short ton.
Coke (petroleum) has a heating value of 6.024 million Btu
per barrel.
Coking Coal: Bituminous coal suitable for making coke.
See Coke, Coal.
Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP) Plant: A plant
designed to produce both heat and electricity from a single
heat source. Note: This term is being used in place of the
term "cogenerator" that was used by EIA in the past. CHP
better describes the facilities because some of the plants
included do not produce heat and power in a sequential
fashion and, as a result, do not meet the legal definition of
cogeneration specified in the Public Utility Regulatory
Policies Act (PURPA).
Commercial Sector: An energy-consuming sector that
consists of service-providing facilities and equipment of:
businesses; federal, state, and local governments; and
other private and public organizations, such as religious,

social, or fraternal groups. The commercial sector includes


institutional living quarters. It also includes sewage treatment facilities. Common uses of energy associated with
this sector include space heating, water heating, air conditioning, lighting, refrigeration, cooking, and running a wide
variety of other equipment. Note: This sector includes
generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal
output primarily to support the activities of the abovementioned commercial establishments.
Various EIA
programs differ in sectoral coverage-for more information
http://www.eia.gov/neic/datadefinitions/Guideforwebcom.htm.
see
See End-Use Sectors and Energy-Use Sectors.
Completion: The installation of permanent equipment for
the production of oil or gas. If a well is equipped to
produce only oil or gas from one zone or reservoir, the
definition of a well (classified as an oil well or gas well)
and the definition of a completion are identical. However,
if a well is equipped to produce oil and/or gas separately
from more than one reservoir, a well is not synonymous
with a completion.
Conventional Hydroelectric Power: Hydroelectric power
generated from flowing water that is not created by hydroelectric pumped storage.
Conventional Motor Gasoline:
Conventional.

See Motor Gasoline

Conversion Factor: A factor for converting data


between one unit of measurement and another (such as
between short tons and British thermal units, or
between
barrels
and
gallons).
(See
http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#appendices
for further information on conversion factors.) See
Btu Conversion Factor and Thermal Conversion Factor.
Cost, Insurance, Freight (CIF): A sales transaction in
which the seller pays for the transportation and insurance of
the goods to the port of destination specified by the buyer.
Crude Oil: A mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in
liquid phase in natural underground reservoirs and
remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing
through surface separating facilities. Depending upon the
characteristics of the crude stream, it may also include: 1)
small amounts of hydrocarbons that exist in gaseous
phase in natural underground reservoirs but are liquid at
atmospheric pressure after being recovered from oil well
(casinghead) gas in lease separators and are subsequently
commingled with the crude stream without being separately measured. Lease condensate recovered as a liquid
from natural gas wells in lease or field separation facilities and later mixed into the crude stream is also included;
2) small amounts of nonhydrocarbons produced with the
oil, such as sulfur and various metals; and 3) drip gases,
and liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar sands, oil
sands, gilsonite, and oil shale.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

189

Liquids produced at natural gas processing plants are


excluded. Crude oil is refined to produce a wide array of
petroleum products, including heating oils; gasoline,
diesel and jet fuels; lubricants; asphalt; ethane, propane,
and butane; and many other products used for their energy
or chemical content.
Crude Oil F.O.B. Price: The crude oil price actually
charged at the oil-producing countrys port of loading.
Includes deductions for any rebates and discounts or additions of premiums, where applicable. It is the actual price
paid with no adjustment for credit terms.
Crude Oil (Including Lease Condensate): A mixture of
hydrocarbons that exists in liquid phase in underground
reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure
after passing through surface separating facilities.
Included are lease condensate and liquid hydrocarbons
produced from tar sands, gilsonite, and oil shale. Drip
gases are also included, but topped crude oil (residual
oil) and other unfinished oils are excluded. Where identifiable, liquids produced at natural gas processing plants
and mixed with crude oil are likewise excluded.
Crude Oil Landed Cost: The price of crude oil at the port
of discharge, including charges associated with the
purchase, transporting, and insuring of a cargo from the
purchase point to the port of discharge. The cost does not
include charges incurred at the discharge port (e.g., import
tariffs or fees, wharfage charges, and demurrage).
Crude Oil Refinery Input: The total crude oil put into
processing units at refineries.
Crude Oil Stocks: Stocks of crude oil and lease condensate held at refineries, in pipelines, at pipeline terminals,
and on leases.
Crude Oil Used Directly: Crude oil consumed as fuel by
crude oil pipelines and on crude oil leases.
Crude Oil Well: A well completed for the production of
crude oil from one or more oil zones or reservoirs. Wells
producing both crude oil and natural gas are classified as
oil wells.
Cubic Foot (Natural Gas): A unit of volume equal to 1
cubic foot at a pressure base of 14.73 pounds standard per
square inch absolute and a temperature base of 60 F.
Degree-Day Normals: Simple arithmetic averages of
monthly or annual degree-days over a long period of time
(usually the 30-year period 1961-1990). The averages
may be simple degree-day normals or populationweighted degree-day normals.
Degree-Days, Cooling (CDD): A measure of how warm
a location is over a period of time relative to a base
temperature, most commonly specified as 65 degrees
190

Fahrenheit. The measure is computed for each day by


subtracting the base temperature (65 degrees) from the
average of the days high and low temperatures, with
negative values set equal to zero. Each days cooling
degree-days are summed to create a cooling degree-day
measure for a specified reference period. Cooling
degree-days are used in energy analysis as an indicator of
air conditioning energy requirements or use.
Degree-Days, Heating (HDD): A measure of how cold a
location is over a period of time relative to a base
temperature, most commonly specified as 65 degrees
Fahrenheit. The measure is computed for each day by
subtracting the average of the days high and low
temperatures from the base temperature (65 degrees), with
negative values set equal to zero. Each days heating
degree-days are summed to create a heating degree-day
measure for a specified reference period. Heating degreedays are used in energy analysis as an indicator of space
heating energy requirements or use.
Degree-Days, Population-Weighted: Heating or cooling
degree-days weighted by the population of the area in
which the degree-days are recorded. To compute state
population-weighted degree-days, each state is divided
into from one to nine climatically homogeneous divisions,
which are assigned weights based on the ratio of the
population of the division to the total population of the
state. Degree-day readings for each division are multiplied by the corresponding population weight for each
division and those products are then summed to arrive at
the state population-weighted degree-day figure. To
compute national population-weighted degree-days, the
nation is divided into nine Census regions, each
comprising from three to eight states, which are assigned
weights based on the ratio of the population of the
region to the total population of the nation. Degree-day
readings for each region are multiplied by the corresponding population weight for each region and those
products are then summed to arrive at the national
population-weighted degree-day figure.
Denaturant: Petroleum, typically pentanes plus or
conventional motor gasoline, added to fuel ethanol to
make it unfit for human consumption. Fuel ethanol is denatured, usually prior to transport from the ethanol production
facility, by adding 2 to 5 volume percent denaturant. See
Fuel Ethanol and Fuel Ethanol Minus Denaturant.
Design Electrical Rating, Net: The nominal net electrical
output of a nuclear unit as specified by the electric utility
for the purpose of plant design.
Development Well: A well drilled within the proved area
of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic
horizon known to be productive.
Diesel Fuel: A fuel composed of distillate fuel oils
obtained in petroleum refining operation or blends of such

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review December 2013

distillate fuel oils with residual fuel oil used in motor vehicles. The boiling point and specific gravity are higher for
diesel fuels than for gasoline.

Electrical System Energy Losses: The amount of energy


lost during generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, including plant and unaccounted-for uses.

Direct Use: Use of electricity that 1) is self-generated, 2) is


produced by either the same entity that consumes the power
or an affiliate, and 3) is used in direct support of a service or
industrial process located within the same facility or group
of facilities that house the generating equipment. Direct use
is exclusive of station use.

Electricity: A form of energy characterized by the presence


and motion of elementary charged particles generated by
friction, induction, or chemical change.

Distillate Fuel Oil: A general classification for one of the


petroleum fractions produced in conventional distillation
operations. It includes diesel fuels and fuel oils. Products
known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 diesel fuel are used in
on-highway diesel engines, such as those in trucks and
automobiles, as well as off-highway engines, such as those
in railroad locomotives and agricultural machinery. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils are used
primarily for space heating and electricity generation.
Dry Hole: An exploratory or development well found to be
incapable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as an oil or gas well.
Dry Natural Gas Production: See Natural Gas (Dry)
Production.
E85: A fuel containing a mixture of 85 percent ethanol and
15 percent motor gasoline.
Electric Power Plant: A station containing prime movers,
electric generators, and auxiliary equipment for converting
mechanical, chemical, and/or fission energy into electric energy.
Electric Power Sector: An energy-consuming sector that
consists of electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power
(CHP) plants whose primary business is to sell electricity,
or electricity and heat, to the public-i.e., North American

Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP) Plant, ElectricityOnly Plant, Electric Utility, and Independent Power
Producer.
Electric Utility: Any entity that generates, transmits, or
distributes electricity and recovers the cost of its generation, transmission or distribution assets and operations,
either directly or indirectly, through cost-based rates set by
a separate regulatory authority (e.g., State Public Service
Commission), or is owned by a governmental unit or the
consumers that the entity serves. Examples of these entities include: investor-owned entities, public power districts,
public utility districts, municipalities, rural electric cooperatives, and state and federal agencies. Electric utilities
may have Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval
for interconnection agreements and wholesale trade tariffs
covering either cost-of-service and/or market-based rates

wells. Footage reported for directional sidetrack wells
does not include footage in the common bore, which is
reported as footage for the original well. In the case of
old wells drilled deeper, the reported footage is that
which was drilled below the total depth of the old well.

Global Warming Potential (GWP): An index used to
compare the relative radiative forcing of different gases
without directly calculating the changes in atmospheric
concentrations. GWPs are calculated as the ratio of the radiative forcing that would result from the emission of one kilogram of a greenhouse gas to that from the emission of one

expressed in British thermal units (Btu). Note: Heat
content of combustible energy forms can be expressed in
terms of either gross heat content (higher or upper heating

upon whether or not the available heat energy includes or
excludes the energy used to vaporize water (contained in
the original energy form or created during the combustion
