NGI Natural Gas Price Indexes

IPI began publishing the industry's first natural gas price survey report in 1983 when natural gas first began to trade competitively. The voluntary survey and NGI's Price Methodology has evolved over the years from a simple weekly range of prices in the five major production areas to the current reporting of daily, weekly and monthly (bidweek) price ranges, averages, volumes and number of deals at nearly 100 locations across the United States and Canada.

Our Commitment

IPI operates under the journalism code of ethics, which requires that the personnel creating and compiling the content of our publications and management have no financial interest in the companies on which they report. IPI also warrants that its editorial and price survey employees and management do not trade in the natural gas commodity market, nor in any paper market relating to the natural gas commodity market. Also, as journalists, IPI employees strive to maintain the highest standards of truth, accuracy, fairness and impartiality. This means double-checking facts, correcting errors as soon as possible, and striving to tell all sides of a story.
