Offsetting a balance of natural gas consumption in the public utility

Abstract

The methodologies have been analyzed concerning gas volumes registered with domestic gas meters, meeting
standard conditions. The structural diagram of the modified system for gas transmission has been developed by the
gas supplier. The techniques for offsetting a balance of natural gas consumption in the public utility was drawn up
for gas distributors. Due to it the difference between volumes of natural gas consumption in the public utility and
measured volumes of natural gas with gas meters installed at the gas distribution plants will not be interpreted as
natural gas losses whereas it will be counted during fulfillment of the procedure of meeting registered gas volumes,
which were calculated at the gas distribution plants, to the standard conditions. The developed methodology of
offsetting a balance for gas consumption used by residents enables to make a conclusion at the verification interval
about necessity of carrying out unscheduled meter verification or execution of expert evidence for the purpose of
unauthorized tampering in the meter operation.
