Who are the producers in the producing basins that serve California?
The state agencies do not have comprehensive data on the identities of producers in the out-of-state natural gas basins that serve California. The CPUC was able to obtain 2004 information about the largest natural gas producers in the states of Wyoming, New Mexico, Texas, and California. This information provides a good indication of the largest natural gas producers in California, the Rockies, and the San Juan basins, and to a certain extent likely provides information about the largest producers in the Permian basin. (The Permian basin is just one of several basins in Texas.) The CPUC was also able to obtain 2002 information about the largest producers in Alberta, Canada, the source of almost all Canadian gas delivered to California. This information is shown in Appendix II. The CPUC also has information on producers and marketers from whom California natural gas and electric utilities procure natural gas supplies, as well as information about the suppliers of natural gas to DWR unde
