Abstract: The gas industry is a gigantic undertaking, representing an investment of many bill ions of dollars. To bring natural gas to the market, mind-boggling investments have and must continue to be made in exploration, production, processing, compression, transportation and distribution. Thousands of people are engaged in the manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of equipment and facilities for each of these activities. In the final analysis however, all of these investments and activities are undertaken with only one purpose in mind: to sell this precious coinnodity, won at such a high price in human as wel 1 as monetary terms. The gas meter is the cash register of the industry and is in fact the final means by which the industry can justify its reason for existence. As the price of natural gas went up, the need for accurate and reliable measurement devices became more apparent, in particular for the measurement of large volumes of gas at elevated pressures. The seller is not interested in giving gas away, while the buyer does not want to pay for gas he does not receive. The answer to the question: Should we use the same equipment and practices to measure gas at 2.50 per HCF that we used when gas sold for 5 cents per MCF at the wellhead?, must be an emphatic No.
