The energy content (high or low heating value) of a volume of natural gas varies with the composition of the natural gas, which means there is no universal conversion factor for energy to volume. 1 cubic foot (28 litres) of average natural gas yields ≈ 1,030 Btu (between 1,010 Btu and 1,070 Btu, depending on quality, when burned)
Common units of gas volumes include ccf (hundred standard cubic feet), Mcf (thousand standard cubic feet), and MMcf (million standard cubic feet). [3] The "M" refers to the Roman numeral for thousand, while a double "M" ("MM") represent one thousand thousands, or one million.
Million standard cubic feet per day is a unit of measurement for gases that is predominantly used in the United States. It is frequently abbreviated MMSCFD. It is frequently abbreviated MMSCFD. MMSCFD is commonly used as a measure of natural gas , liquefied petroleum gas , compressed natural gas and other gases that are extracted, processed or ...
Note that the m³ gas conversion factor takes into account a difference in the standard temperature base for measurement of gas volumes in metric and imperial units. The standard temperature for metric measurement is 15 degrees Celsius (i.e. 59 degrees Fahrenheit) while for English measurement the standard temperature is 60 °F.
For example, US dollars or other currency per million British thermal units, thousand cubic feet, or 1,000 cubic meters. Note that, for natural gas price comparisons$, per million Btu multiplied by 1.025 = $ per Mcf of pipeline-quality gas, which is what is delivered to consumers.
Natural gas meters measure volume and not energy content, and given that the energy density varies with the mix of hydrocarbons in the natural gas, a "therm factor" is used by natural gas companies to convert the volume of gas used to its heat equivalent, usually being expressed in units of "therms per CCF" (CCF is an abbreviation for 100 ...
MMBtu—1 million British thermal units, same as dekatherm; MMC—Market Monitoring Center; MMCF—one million cubic feet (measurement of natural gas) MMCFD—one million cubic feet per day; MMGAL—one million gallons; MMGAL/D—one million gallons per day; MMS—Minerals Management Service (US) MMST—one million short tons; MoC—Management ...
The United States Geological Survey gives a figure of 6,000 cubic feet (170 cubic metres) of typical natural gas. [ 2 ] Due to the risk of confusion The Society of Petroleum Engineers recommends in their style guide that abbreviations or prefixes M or MM are not used for barrels of oil or barrel of oil equivalent, but rather that thousands ...
