So how do they keep the Natural Gas moving to homes when the power grid is down? I know it's a simpleton question and I'm assuming it's generators, I'm just wondering what that NG "grid" looks like. I don't think I've ever seen NG stop flowing in all the years I've been in Texas (outside of a leak). I'm getting a NG standby generator and now I'm thinking, What are the odds that somehow the NG stops flowing.

What would happen to the NG pressure if you lived in a neighborhood where 20+ people added backup NG generators? Do you think there would be enough pressure to supply that much NG that'd be needed?
I'm curious b/c I've been talking to my neighbors and I'm pretty sure there will be at least 20 homes that have a NG backup generator installed after this. One neighbor works for Cummins and his sales department is working on getting a bulk deal setup for everyone.

lot's of nat gas production went down this week due to frozen instrumentation, frozen fuel lines, produced water and condensate tanks filling and haulers not driving on the frozen roads, treating plants losing supplied power and not having back up generation, the list goes on. There was still nat gas being produced but a significant amount went offline

Just curious how you guys keep hydrates from forming as the gas is being sent down the line. As we circulate gas out of a well and it flows through our chokes we often have to induce glycol into our manifold as we get gas up to the surface to keep it from icing over and plugging off chokes. Do you guys just regulate the flow rate to prevent this or is it not as big a problem on land.
