Liquid and Gas Flow Measurement and Custody Transfer 2011

Any losses in Custody Transfer Measurements are very large and non recoverable. It must be understood that at this point of the business; mistakes of any kind with processes in place are very critical and extremely costly. Only through arbitration and lengthy legal claims can the losses be redeemed and only partial of that. Proper practices, insurance of accuracy in operation and precise instrumentation measurement up front before losses can occur is of paramount importance. Errors in flow measurements subject petroleum companies to significant financial losses. The type of work required to properly conduct and maintain accurate custody transfer flow measurements is restrictive and very specialized. Controlling losses up front is much easier than reclaiming losses incurred due to improper measurement. Few organizations within the oil industries and outside engineering firms can understand and comply with such work.

The workshop is designed for the purpose of providing an overview of all the major activities performed by the Custody Measurement. It is never an easy task to describe the working functions of any group of specialists contributing on a daily basis to maintain and enhance effectively the key area of the company’s business – the accurate measurement and control of its products to the customer. The workshop will endeavor to provide specialist support, introduce sophisticated state of the art monitoring and measurement systems, develop/recommend proper procedures and design standards in line with international bodies to ensure mistakes and/or losses of any kind are alleviated and/or minimized. After completion of the workshop participants will become better aware and more familiar with the functions and field tasks of crude and hydrocarbon fluids custody flow measurements and loss control; as well as enhance the overall awareness of the Company’s professional and engineering work force in this field.
