Zeev,

I find this interesting. My father, who passed away a while ago, spent his life working in the natural gas industry.

His first post was working for a municipality in Virginia. They manufactured the natural gas used by the town from coal, then piped (distributed) the gas to the users. I guess this was back in the late 30's/early 40's. Must have been a pretty small-scale operation by today's standards. I doubt they had more than 8,000-10,000 customers (residential & commercial combined).

Did you consider contacting BP directly about your invention? Doubt they'll be interested in funding your "OCR" efforts (especially if they'll be able to "copy" the work) but maybe it's worth a try. As a small BP investor, I'll be delighted to second your efforts!
