Components of Energy Supply

2 - Producer consumption

Producers' consumption as measured here is the consumption by the producing industry of its own produced fuel; for example, refined petroleum products consumed by the refined petroleum product industry, or natural gas used in the field, flared and waste, field uses, gathering uses, plant uses and metering adjustments. It does not include consumption of energy forms produced by other energy supply industries; for example, it would exclude the use of natural gas by the petroleum refining industry. In the case of electricity, it includes transmission losses, adjustments, unaccounted for amounts which are subject to variation because of cyclical billing, etcetera, but excludes generating station use output as measured at the generating station gate.
