Abstract: The transactional environment of todays energy business often necessitates the on-site facilitation of total energy measurement in order to accomplish the timelier settlement of measured fluid quantities between parties. In the natural gas industry, this is most commonly accomplished per the use of Primary Flow Meters, Secondary Devices, Electronic Flow Measurement (EFM) and Gas Chromatographs (GC). These technologies enable the operator to determine total measured volumetric and energy quantities at the time that individual measurements of key parameters are taken with little or no need for subsequent data processing. There are several advantages associated with the implementation of a total energy measurement system. As previously mentioned, because the system determines total measured volumetric and energy quantities at the measurement site, the need to perform downstream data processing is minimized or eliminated. Because measurement of flow parameters and composition are being made much more frequently, and the values then integrated together on-site for calculation of flow and energy rates, uncertainties associated with less frequent measurements, downstream data processing, averaging error and unrepresentative values utilized for long periods of time are greatly minimized. When remote communications systems are utilized, data can be collected and delivered to organizational business systems, enabling such to be transacted upon in a much timelier manner.
