Natural Gas Parameters Expressed In Volume

The trade of natural gas as traded commonly in its liquefied form (LNG) is usually expressed in units of mass such as BTU/lb or traded in $/BTU units specially in the North American Regions.



However upcoming trends in the near future such as trading with the EU and the Asian Region would require that natural gas or LNG be traded in compliance to ISO 13686 Requirements, i.e, expressed in Volume (m3) rather than mass (lb).



This eBook explains how natural gas parameters can be expressed from units mass to unit Volume in compliance to ISO 13686 Requirements.
