Backhauling of gas.

From the following one can easily determine that someone operating the pipelines, could be out to make a profit utilising this system.

Someone could in fact be charged a fee for sending his gas to a far away market, but in fact this gas might go and delivered elsewhere nearby, and that same amount of gas swapped with one produced from a closure source.


""mce-anchorBackhauling Backhauling is the transportation of gas apparently in the reverse direction to the main flow of the pipeline. This is usually achieved by swap arrangements rather than by physical movements. Also known as Reverse Flow.""



""Backhaul
A "paper transport" of natural gas by displacement against the flow on a single pipeline, so that the natural gas is redelivered upstream of its point of receipt. See also DISPLACEMENT."
