Abstract: We will be discussing the measurement of a stripper well with you. Why? How? What? A stripper well is defined as a well that has delivered 60 MCF per day or less for a specific period of time. 1. Why? The question arises, Why the sudden interest in these low producing wells? The answer Is simply NGPA or the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. This act was signed into law on November 9, 1978 to become effective for certain first sales of natural gas delivered on or after December 1, 1978. The ceiling price for gas delivered from a stripper (NGPA Section 108) well was established at 2,224 per MMBTU this price in April, 1982 has risen to 3,314 per MMBTU. Because of NGPA, gas measurement personnel are faced with the necessity of measuring these wells accurately, and in keeping with A.G.A. standards, and, yet, keep the cost of metering as low as possible.
