About this data
Monthly Alaska natural gas supply and residential price — the fuel that heats Southcentral homes and powers the Railbelt grid, now a live policy issue as Cook Inlet supply tightens. Three series: marketed production (N9050AK2), gross withdrawals (N9010AK2), and residential delivered price (N3010AK3). Gross withdrawals dwarf marketed production because most North Slope gas is reinjected for oil recovery. Energy-family dataset filed under oil_gas with the other EIA energy briefs.
Known issues & gotchas
- Access via
https://api.eia.gov/v2/seriesid/{ID}?api_key=.... Native v2 routes arenatural-gas/prod/sum/data/andnatural-gas/pri/sum/data/withfacets[duoarea][]=SAK— the fallback if the seriesid shim retires. Verify facet/column names at build. - The three series have different units (MMcf, MMcf, $/Mcf) — do not load into one column without carrying the unit.
- Gross withdrawals run ~10x marketed production (reinjected North Slope gas). If the two series ever look similar in a load, something is mislabeled.
- Residential price is counter-intuitively summer-peaked (fixed charges spread over tiny summer volumes push $/Mcf up in July–August). A summer price spike is normal, not an anomaly.
- Price series can have missing winter/summer months in early history; withdrawals history starts 1991 vs 1989 for the others.
- ~2-month lag; values arrive as strings in JSON — cast explicitly. Full history ~440 months/series, under the 5,000-row JSON cap, but paginate defensively.
- Cook Inlet vs North Slope split is an AOGCC (state) dataset, not EIA — this is statewide only.
