Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

How do you convert $ / 1,000 CF into $ / mmBtu for natural gas ?

Natural gas is about 1000 BTU/SCF, give or take 5%.
If that is close enough, they are "the same." If that is not close enough, you need to ask your gas supplier for the energy conent as BTU/SCF.

The energy content varies a bit based on source well and supplier. If it were pure methane, it would be about 900 BTU/scf, but there is usually a little ethane and butane which raise the energy content and a little CO2 which lowers it. If you have a precise analysis of the gas you can work out a precise energy content.
