Abstract: The value of Measurement Problems in offshore gas handling may be obtained by multiplying various factors together as expressed by the formula MP MP Fnp Fd Fh.,od Fw Fped- Fv Fnp x Fd x Fh.,od x Fw x Fped2 Fv normal problems distance from base water depth weather platform and equipment design volume dollar value At first glance Fv appears to be confusing, but the measurement engineer has learned that, in general, the smaller the volume the more troublesome it becomes for two reasons: 1. Small volumes usually produce erratic charts because of the fluctuations in static and differential pressure, induced by dumping separation equipment. 2. Economics-It is increasingly difficult to justify the large expenditures associated with offshore transportation and materials when the monetary value of the gas is comparatively small. It might also be noted that the measurement engineer is bound by the conditions of the gas sales contract, and these conditions do not vary with volume.
