Abstract: In the natural gas industry, proper flow measurement is one of the key elements in providing accurate allocation of revenue. Natural gas can have some liquid content. This liquid may be water, hydrocarbons, compressor oil or a mixture of all three. When a flow meter is subjected to wet gas, large errors in flow measurement can be present with undesirable results to the bottom line. The intention of this paper is to introduce the reader to the difficulties associated with wet gas. The content presented is not intended for wet gas measurement error correction. The first section gives a brief glossary of terms used when describing wet gas flow. The next section gives a simple discussion about the behavior of a wet gas mixture from the first appearance of liquid to large amounts of liquid present in the gas stream. Also, previous research conducted in a controlled environment pertaining to the effect of entrained liquids on orifice measurements is described. Finally, general discussions about wet gas metering is discussed.
