Abstract: In the oil and gas industry, the commercial viability of a product depends on economic considerations of marketability of the product. The marketable products can be naturally occurring or is often a byproduct of refining and/or chemical process. Marketability of a product is impacted by cost of processing, handing, transportation, dispensing, safety precautions, storage, quality control, etc. If a product is deemed commercially unmarketable, it is often disposed, internally used for heat generation, or flared. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is one of those hydrocarbon liquids that pose very complex difficulties in storage, handling, and measurement accuracy. Hence, historically LPG byproduct was treated as a nuisance by many companies in the petroleum industry and was disposed, burned as plants internal heating fuel, or flared. With increasing production of natural gas and demand and cost of energy resources, the marketability of LPG has become an economically viable commodity. With increasing cost versus profitability of the petroleum industry and expanding demand for energy, there are consorted efforts to market LPG and overcome the known difficulties of storage, transportation, safety issues, handling, and accurately measure the LPG products.
