Unaccounted for Gas (UFG)

UFG in parlance of gasdistribution and Transmission Company mean the difference b/w gas purchased involume, gas billed in volume and gas used internally by the company for itsoperation.

The UFG phenomenon can be classified into two categories:

  • Technical which includes above and under-ground leakages (comprise 35% of UFG) – LOST GASES
  •  Non-technical which includes theft (approx. 30%), measurement errors (20%) and billing errors (15%). – UFG.

UFG cannot be fought by SSGC alone. It is the customers who have to rise against this scourge and not just refrain from such contributing factors as gas theft and meter tampering but report one, especially since gas theft is now a crime as per recent legislation.
