44、is is one of four books that comprise the Transmission volume in the Gas Engineering and Operating Practices (GEOP) series pub-lished by the American Gas Association (A.G.A.); the other three books are Pipelines/Planning and Economics, Compressor Station Operations , and Automation and Telecommunica

45、tions. This book was written by members of the A.G.A. Operating Sections Gas Control Committee to provide a basic knowledge of the role that the gas-control department referred to simply as gas control plays in moving gas from the producer to the end user in the natural gas in-dustry. The equipment,

46、 practices, and procedures discussed represent a typical gas control operation. With this understanding, the authors have refrained from repetitious use of the words “typically,” “usually,” etc. They realize that some facilities will be better equipped and staffed than the “typical” facility and tha

47、t some will be operating effectively with less resources. It will be the readers responsibility to apply the information appropriately. This publication is not intended to be a “how-to” procedures manual. Rather, it is a reference manual for help in understanding the scope and operating practices of gas control. It describes the gas-control res- ponsibilities of pipeline companies (pipelines), who perform primarily the transmission function, and local distribution companies (LDCs), who perform primarily the distribution function. The reader should recognize this dis
