Natural Gas Imports and Exports by Point

natural gas imports and exports by point of entry or exit, monthly from 2010: pipeline border crossings with Canada and Mexico, and LNG by terminal. event_time is the first of the month. Volumes are MMcf unless units says otherwise. One row per EIA series per period, long format: series is the EIA v2 series id, which already encodes the area and the measure, and duoarea / area_name, product_name and process_name spell it out. value is in units, which differ by series, so never add values from series with different units. Every daily pull is kept as its own source_time vintage while EIA can still restate the period: read the newest source_time per (event_time, series), never several. Published by the U.S. EIA.

Query contract

Preserve one canonical row per (event_time, series, source_time) before aggregating.

Analysis rules

Select the newest source_time per (event_time, series) before reading or aggregating; every vintage of a restated period is kept.Never add values across series with different units.

Interpretation

Published by the U.S. EIA; attribute it to EIA whenever it is reported.
