AGA Operations SectionAt a GlanceThe American Gas Association, founded in 1918, represents more than 200 local energy companies that deliver clean natural gas throughout the United States. There are more than 72 million residential, commercial and industrial natural gas customers in the U.S., of which 95 percent — just under 69 million customers — receive their gas from AGA members. AGA is an advocate for natural gas utility companies and their customers and provides a broad range of programs and services for member natural gas pipelines, marketers, gatherers, international natural gas companies and industry associates. Today, natural gas meets more than one-fourth of the United States’ energy needs.

The AGA Operations Section focuses on the engineering and technological aspects of transporting, storing, distributing and measuring natural gas. It aids member companies in operating safely, effectively and economically by reducing operating costs while continuing to serve the best interests of the public. The Operations Conference and Biennial Exhibition is sponsored by the AGA Operations Section with the support of the AGA Operations Equipment & Services Associates Section.
