3. A Highly Integrated Natural Gas Transmission Network
305,000 miles of natural gas transmission pipelines in U.S.
217,000 miles of interstate pipeline
88,000 miles of intrastate pipeline
1,400 compressor stations
11,000 delivery points, 5,000 receipt points, 1,400 interconnection points
24 market hubs
400 underground storage locations
49 pipeline export/import connections
8 LNG import terminals
Between 1997 and 2007, 53 pipeline companies reported that they spent $30.8 billion for interstate pipeline infrastructure. (2007 CWIP was $5.2 billion.)

8. Interstate Pipelines Are Key To Creating A Reliable Natural Gas Market
The United States is closer than ever before to being a single natural gas market with congestion limited to a few markets for a few periods during the year.
The reason?
In addition to significant new recoverable reserves, important expansions and extensions of gas transmission capacity have reduced the volatility of the price of gas delivered to the market.
