Abstract: Electronic custody transfer is becoming more widely accepted within the natural gas industry. Recognition of this technology by such major products as the Trailblazer Pipeline have given this basic gas control tool creditability and made it available to the accountant. The system of generating a paper chart and the processing required to interpret the chart and calculate flow has many opportunities for errors. By comparison the telemeter system reveals a lesser propensity for error. In our attempts to confirm validity by trying to force the telemeter to match the chart values, we could be sacriflcing the more accurate system. A several-year experiment in electronic custody transfer between Northern Natural Gas Company and two distribution companies telemetered values with adjustments to the integrated volumes on the subsequent months billing. The continuation of the chart system in parallel with the customers telemeters and the final adjustment of monthly differences allowed the procedure to operate under traditional gas tariff measurement provisions.
