19. MEASUREMENTS AND TESTS FOR DELIVERY OF NATURAL GAS (Continued)
(h) Supercompressibility.
(1) The deviation of the Natural Gas from the Ideal Gas Laws shall be determined:
(i) in accordance with the American Gas Association, Par Research Project NX-
19 report, titled "Manual for the Determination of Supercompressibility
Factors for Natural Gas", Reprinted 1976, if the composition of the
natural gas is such to render this procedure applicable, or
(ii) by any other method mutually agreed upon by Operator and Buyer.
(2) If the measurement method used by Operator requires the concentrations of
nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the concentrations of nitrogen and carbon dioxide
shall be determined by chromatographic or other generally accepted analytical
method at Operator's option:
(i) where Electronic Measurement equipment is provided,
(a) by contemporaneous application of continuous instantaneous
measurements of the concentrations of nitrogen and carbon dioxide,
or by contemporaneous application of the arithmetic or other average
of the concentrations of nitrogen and carbon dioxide for the time
during which gas was flowing,
(b) by prospective application of the arithmetic or other average of the
concentrations of nitrogen and carbon dioxide record, or
(c) by prospective application of the results of analyses of samples of
the gas; or
(ii) where Electronic Measurement equipment is not provided,
(a) by the contemporaneous application of the arithmetic or other
average of the hourly or daily concentrations of nitrogen and carbon
dioxide, or
(b) by prospective application of the results of analyses of samples of
the gas; or
(3) by any other method or methods mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Operator.
(i) Measuring Equipment.
(1) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Operator shall install, operate, and
maintain measuring stations and equipment by which the quantities of Natural Gas
delivered by Operator are determined.
