Abstract: The increasing value of natural gas in recent years has necessitated the need for improved methods of calculating/ estimating unmetered gas used or lost in various pipeline operations. This paper will cover methods of calculating used/lost gas for five different situations: 1. Gas loss due to leakage, punctures, blow/ outs, ruptures, etc. 2. Emptying or filling lines 3. Purging 4. Open end blowing 5. Pigging The methods and formulae presented were tailored for use in Columbia Gas Transmission Corporations operations, but can be adapted as desired by altering the numerical values to fit almost any situation and circumstance.
