each designated CSG product mined is measured by a meter, in accordance with the relevant measurement scheme under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act for the meter; and
See the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act , section 631 (What is a meter ) and chapter 8 , part 2 (Measurement schemes).
the meter complies with any requirements under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act ; and
the measurement is made at the times and in the way required under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act ; and
the measurement measures—
each designated CSG product separately to each other type of product mentioned in the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act , section 801 (2) ; and
