Abstract: In producing field operations, an acceptable degree of gas measurement accuracy is difficult to achieve. It is generally more difficult than accuracy in transmission and distribution operations. Acceptable field measurement accuracy can be achieved however, some of the problems encountered require all the experience, knowledge and ingenuity that can be mustered. An acceptable degree of field measurement accuracy begins with the planning and design of the meter station. It includes, of course, the installation of equipment, and the operation and maintenance of field meters. It also includes appropriate measurement techniques and training. This discussion will center around conventional orifice measurement. However, it will include brief coverage of other methods of field measurement since some problems cannot be resolved by conventional orifice measurement. There are many similarities in gas measurement by orifice meters at high and at low pressures and most of this discussion may be applied to both. However, for the purpose of defining high pressure gas for this discussion, it may be assumed that high pressure gas will include gas measured at pressures in excess of 500 lbs. This allows consideration of problems encountered at pressures where most gas lift, production, and sales measurements are made. Also, field measurement is defined as measurement made for the sale, purchase, allocation, or field operation use in the immediate vicinity where the gas is produced.
