Requirements for gas measurements have changed through depletion of existing supplies, development of new supplies, open access to pipelines, deregulation and other economic forces at work in our industry. The requirement of pipelines to change with the above situations require those of us in charge of measurement to come up with innovative and new methods of measurement for these changing flow requirements. The problem exists at the well head and the pipeline delivery point. This problem has been brought on in part by the fact that we no longer sell gas to the pipeline but to end users. This causes the problem to exist at the customers` sales point as well as the pipeline.
