Natural Gas

IIC, Inc. has also performed various assignments relating to the natural gas industry. As with the petroleum industry, the natural gas industry is constantly evolving as new regulatory and market factors influence firm behavior and industry performance. We have performed damages analyses, pricing and valuation studies, and regulatory analyses for a variety of public and private sector clients.

For example, we analyzed the values ascribed to natural gas produced in various locations throughout the United States to determine whether the values reported for royalty purposes reflected the market value of such gas produced at the wellhead. We examined transportation and processing costs as well as reported spot market prices to measure value at the wellhead.

In another matter, we analyzed the rates charged on a major gas pipeline, and performed cost of service analyses relating to the proposed construction of a new pipeline involving several alternative routes. We showed that one alternative was preferred from a consumer standpoint, both in terms of cost and environmental impact.
