Abstract: The proportion of natural gas in China's primary energy is increasing, and its value is mainly reflected in the heat generated during combustion. China still focuses on the volume measurement and pricing of natural gas, which is not conducive to the development of the domestic natural gas market and the integration with the international market. The implementation of energy measurement and pricing can better reflect the value of natural gas. This paper studies a variety of energy pricing methods, and carries out component tracking analysis based on SPS software. Taking the Sichuan-East gas transmission pipeline as an example, we calculate gas revenue of enterprises after the volume measurement method is changed to energy measurement method, analyze the influence of different energy measurement method on the gas revenue of enterprises, and determine the favorable energy measurement method, that is, 36.84 MJ/m3 is selected as the national reference calorific value. After studying the influence of different gas supply schemes from multiple gas sources on gas revenue, we suggest the gas supply scheme to maximize gas revenue: increasing daily gas supply of Yuanba Gas Field, taking Fuling Shale Gas as the main gas source, and Puguang Gas Field as the auxiliary gas source. The sensitivity analysis of the selection of the base calorific value to the gas revenue was carried out to clarify the influence of the base calorific value on the gas revenue, and the minimum influence of the base calorific value on the gas revenue was determined to be 36.52 MJ/m3 after the reform of pricing method.

Key words: natural gas, energy pricing, gas price conversion, SPS simulation, component tracking, revenue from gas sales
