Abstract: In the early years of our industry, gas was bought, sold or exchanged on an MCF basis for generally a few cents an MCF. With the cheap cost it made little difference in the heating value or BTU. As time progressed and our rules changed, BTUs became very important to all of us. In 1978 the Federal Energy and Regulating Committee (FERC) issued regulations that set up rules regarding first sales of natural gas. Order 93, issued in 1980, set up the final rules. One was to define a method of expressing the BTU content per unit volume. The units for custody transfer are generally the therm (100,000 BTUs) or decatherm (1,000,000 BTUs) is usually referred to as a million BTU or.MMBTU.
