Flow Measurement and Custody Transfer
Accurate flow measurement and custody transfer are critical elements in the oil and gas value chain, directly impacting revenue, regulatory compliance, and operational integrity. This workshop provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, technologies, and standards that govern flow measurement and custody transfer processes. Through a combination of technical insight and practical applications, attendees will gain the knowledge required to ensure accuracy, reliability, and accountability in measurement systems across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Key focus areas include emerging metering technologies, calibration practices, international standards, and the mitigation of measurement uncertainties.
Workshop Objectives
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Explain the fundamental principles of flow measurement and its significance in custody transfer.
Differentiate between measurement technologies such as turbine, ultrasonic, Coriolis, and differential pressure meters.
Interpret and apply international standards (API, AGA, OIML, ISO) relevant to custody transfer.
Recognize common sources of measurement error and implement strategies to minimize uncertainty.
Evaluate calibration and proving practices to ensure system accuracy and regulatory compliance.
Understand the commercial and contractual implications of custody transfer agreements.
Apply best practices in system design, operation, and maintenance to safeguard measurement integrity.
