BCBob, actually on digging some more I think I found the answer. Per capstoneturbine.com , which is a data sheet for Capstone's smallest microturbine, it says it takes a fuel flow of 433,000 btu per hour. To keep the math simple assume the gas feeding the unit is 1 mcf = 1 mmbtu or 1,000,000 btu. If I'm understanding this right this means you only need about 10 mcfd to make this unit work (433,000 x 24 / 1,000,000). Is this right boss? Next question, is the 30 kW of power enough to run an average-sized pumpjack, heater-treater, etc. that would be onsite in a typical oil production operation. Unfortunately I have no clue how much electricity they use.
