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.

Material Balance Modeling
November 28, 2026 - November 29, 2026
Material Balance Modeling

Material balance is one of the most direct methods available to a reservoir engineer for estimating hydrocarbons in place, identifying the drive mechanism and forecasting reservoir performance. It requires far less data than a full numerical model, and when it is set up correctly it produces results that can be defended in technical reviews and reserve audits.This workshop covers the complete material balance workflow as it is applied on producing assets. It begins by placing the reservoir within the integrated production system, then moves through data preparation and quality control, tank model construction, drive mechanism identification, and the use of analytical and graphical diagnostic tools. Participants work through the classical diagnostic plots, including Dake and Campbell, and learn how to read what each plot indicates about depletion, gas cap expansion and water influx.The second part of the workshop addresses history matching using both analytical and graphical techniques, determination of STOIIP, aquifer identification and sizing, and running prediction cases to generate production forecasts and recovery estimates. Results are compared against volumetric and simulation-based estimates so that participants understand where material balance is reliable and where a numerical model becomes necessary.The workshop is delivered at an advanced level and is intended for engineers who already work with production and pressure data and want a structured, repeatable method for in-place volumes, drive mechanism evaluation and performance prediction.
