Abstract: What are the problems of wet gas measurement? First, what is wet gas? Wet gas may be defined as gas containing fluids such as liquified petroleum gases and/or water. The gas may be produced as a by-product of crude petroleum or it may be produced from a gas well with distillate as a by-product. It is often referred to as casinghead gas. In practically all cases, water is produced along with the gas. In practically all cases, water is produced along with the gas. Measurement, as far as this paper is concerned, is restricted to mean measurement by an orifice meter. Although the fundamental principles of orifice measurement are the same for wet gas as for any other, measurement of casinghead gas does present physical conditions, as well as other conditions which require special handling in order to obtain fairly accurate measurement. Each particular field and each individual well may require a slightly different approach to solve the various measurement problems encountered.
