Abstract: Natural gas sampling is a process critical to the measurement of gas value. Improper sampling can distort the composition of natural gas, which indirectly affects flow rate measurement through gas properties and directly impacts heating value measurement. Thats why the American Petroleum Institute (API) Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) Chapter 14.1 worling group initiated a consortium research project - to document the causes of gas sample distortion and to implement procedures that work. Tiie working group will use these research results to revise the industry standard for gas sampling, the API MPMS Chapter 14 - Natural Gas Fluids Measurement, Section 1 - Collecting and Handling of Natural Gas Samples for Custody Transfer 1. The project is funded by the Gas Research Institute (GRI), API, and the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS), and is being performed at the GRI Metering Research Facility (MRF) at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio, Texas. Equipment manufacturers have also provided support for the project. An intehm GRI technical report 2 has been published to summarize work completed in 1997.
