Gas Industry Co understands gas quality issues have for some time been a point of contention between industry participants. We are aware of industry concerns that the responsibilities for achieving compliance with the Gas Specification are unclear.
Also, the liability for non- compliant gas pipelines is an issue. Some industry participants are concerned downstream participants (in particular retailers and distributers) are the most likely to suffer damage or liability from a gas incident. But an upstream participant (in particular a producer or transmission system owner) is likely to be the responsible party, either because it caused the gas quality incident or failed to prevent it. In addition, Gas Industry Co has received numerous requests from a distributor suggesting gas quality issues need further consideration.
