Abstract: Electronic Gas Meters (EGMs) have several different tangible and intangible benefits for each phase of our industry. The tangible costs are very similar from business to business but the intangibles vary. Producers have a much more complex justification process since it is related to well efficiency, labor costs, and benefits of real-time rates and must clearly justify the use of EGMs. We will first discuss the meters differing accuracy of both chart recorders and EGMs. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, so a clear understanding of these should come into play in the justification. Then the costs of both will be compared using different assumptions, including the use of automation equipment. Finally we will try to summarize what key points should be used in the justification of EGM measurement.
