  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING PIPELINE TRANSFERS UTILIZING A BLOCKCHAIN
    Publication number: 20200380512
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for implementing a Blockchain that tracks a transfer of natural gas from a seller to a buyer. The Blockchain is in logical communication with Off-Block controllers and logical systems and storage. This may allow for faster reconciliation between the parties due to cuts to the natural gas transfer, as all parties can be in agreement on relevant facts to the transfer. The Blockchain may also be in logical connection with one or more pipelines involved in the transfer of gas from the seller to the buyer.
