Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to describe the design of a new monthly sample survey of U.S. producers of natural gas. The objective of this survey is to provide monthly estimates of natural gas production with specified precision at the regional and national levels. To accomplish this, we determined the optimum sample sizes for conducting stratified and probability proportional to size sampling designs. Simulations of these designs revealed the deficiencies of the frame under consideration, leading to the choice of a cut-off sample.
