An error in measurement of only one tenth of one percent (0.1%) on 100 million standard cubic feet per day of Natural Gas selling at $3.00/ MCF will cause an over or under billing of $109,500.00 in one year. This will more than pay for a proving system. The BTU in one barrel of oil for example is equivalent to approximately 5,600 cubic feet of natural gas. At $3.00 per thousand cubic feet, the natural gas equivalent of one barrel of oil costs $16.80 or more than the cost of a barrel of oil. In the petroleum liquid industry no custody transfer liquid measurement system would be complete without a method to prove the meter, either as part of the equipment or have connections provided on the measurement skid to connect a portable prover
