Understanding transport contracts

Transport contracts are formal agreements with pipeline operators to facilitate the transportation of natural gas from one location to another. These contracts define the terms, conditions, and capacities for moving gas across pipeline systems. They are essential for ensuring reliable gas delivery to designated locations such as end-users, storage facilities, or operational hubs.
