Abstract: Gas processing plants, whether gas transmission pipeline straddle plants or field gas gathering plants, are an integral part of the Energy industry in the United States. These plants, totaling 763 in the U.S., extract natural gas liquids (ethane, propane, normal and iso-butanes, and natural gasoline) from natural gas at a rate of 600 million barrels a year, which is 1/6 of the U.S. liquid petroleum production. Since the cost of natural gas and the price of NGL (natural gas liquids) has been significantly increasing during the past few years, accurate gas accounting measurement, NGL custody transfer measurement, and Gas plant operation control is essential to the profit margin and overall efficiency of Gas processing plants. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of these measurements and a description of the equipment used.
