Equations used

Panhandle A: Q = 435.87 × E × ((P1²-P2²)/(SG^0.8539×T×L×Z))^0.5394 × D^2.6182

Panhandle B: Q = 737 × E × ((P1²-P2²)/(SG^0.961×T×L×Z))^0.51 × D^2.53

Weymouth: Q = 433.5 × E × D^2.667 × ((P1²-P2²)/(SG×T×L×Z))^0.5

Where: Q = scf/d, E = pipeline efficiency (0.92), P = psia, T = °R, L = miles, D = inches, Z = compressibility factor.
