Abstract: Forty years ago natural gas was sold by producers for five cents per thousand cubic feet, and only the lucky ones were able to negotiate a contract at all. Gas was so cheap and plentiful that old timers say the countryside near Hobbs, New Mexico was so lighted by burning flares that you could read a newspaper at midnight. In the intervening years, natural gas has assumed an ever- increasing importance as an energy source. The comsumption of this fuel of the 1930s has increased so greatly that the demand now exceeds the available supply. It has truly become a sellers market and the price of wellhead gas, in many instances, exceeds fifty cents per thousand cubic feet. The gas transmission and gas distribution companies have been forced to re-evaluate and refine their methods of measurement of both gas volume and gas quality. The margins of error that have been tolerated in the past are no longer acceptable.
