Abstract: There is no need to emphasize the expense involved when dealing with natural gas the increasing cost is common knowledge. As a result of the value being placed on this commodity, the gas industry has become interested not only in quantity, but also in quality. Increasing importance is being placed upon the ability of a gas to act as a fuel rather than the amount of space occupied. A certain property of gas determines whether one will need a given volume of gas as opposed to a smaller volume of a higher quality gas to accomplish the same task. This property is the heating value of a gas and the heating value is represented by the MMBTU. Translated, MMBTU signifies a million BTU. Therefore, one must first examine a single BTU and its origin before dealing with a million of them.
