  [2] Includes blast furnace gas and other gases in years prior to 2001.
  Notes: Due to different reporting requirements between the Form EIA-923 and historical FERC Form 423, the receipts data from 2008 and on are not directly comparable to prior years. For more information, please see the Technical Notes in Appendix C. See Glossary for definitions. Values for 2007 and prior years are final. Values for 2008 and 2009 are preliminary. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Monetary values are expressed in nominal terms. Mcf = thousand cubic feet.
