Quorum Business Solutions, Inc.
Quorum recently integrated GPA 2172-09 gas measurement compliance into the new release of its Quorum PGAS 8.0. Quorum is a leading provider of business and information technology solutions for the oil, gas, and renewable energy industry. GPA 2172-09 sets the standard for calculations stemming from gas analysis. The updated standard includes major revisions that may affect gas measurement calculations for various gas-facility operators, including producers, gatherers, processors, and pipelines. One significant update is the incorporation of water content in gas composition calculations. Adding water vapor to calculations has an impact that permeates into various subsequent values, such as relative density, compressibility factor calculations, volume calculation results, and heating value calculation results. Another notable update is the method for calculating theoretical hydrocarbon liquid content (GPM). GPM calculations will now be calculated as real instead of ideal, so that the calculated values are adjusted for compressibility (Z). These changes allow for gas composition and GPM calculations to be more accurate and reliable. www.qbsol.com, 403-668-4332.
