Crude oil measurement standards

The rule to replace Order 3 governs oil and gas handling and is designed to ensure that production is properly accounted for in order to prevent theft and loss and enable that production to be verified. Orders 4 and 5 establish minimum standards for the accurate measurement of all oil and gas, respectively. These new rules: Covers application of other measurement standards to unique custody transfer situations. Chapter 18.1 Measurement Procedures for Crude Oil Gathered from Small Tank by Truck; 2nd Edition, April 1997, Reaffirmed: February 2007 . Chapter 18.2 Custody Transfer of Crude Oil from Lease Tanks using alternative measurement methods The API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards covers individual standards for sampling, temperature determination, gauging, and quality testing. This publication integrates these standards, by reference, into a framework that may be applied during custody transfer of crude oil from lease tanks to a tank truck without

26 Jun 1973 and its performance capabilities, petroleum measurement tables, test methods and Measurements at standard temperature are seldom possible, so it is measurement. Petroleum crude oils and finished products do not all. This Standard provides the algorithm and implementation procedure for the correction of temperature and pressure effects on density and volume of liquid hydrocarbons which fall within the categories of crude oil, refined products, or lubricating oils; NGLs and LPGs are excluded from consideration in this Standard. The combination of density The API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) is the authoritative document on crude measurement for measurement professionals. The document outlines the important elements throughout the process of moving crude oil from the wellhead to the refinery. ASTM's petroleum standards are instrumental in the evaluation and assessment of the physical, mechanical, rheological, thermal, and chemical properties of crude oils, lubricating grease, automobile and aviation gasoline, hydrocarbons, and other naturally occurring energy resources used for various industrial applications. Crude Oil Measurement The standard volume unit for crude oil measurement, the 42-gallon barrel ("bbl"), dates back to the 1860s, when Pennsylvania producers actually stored and transported petroleum in wooden barrels.To this day you may hear a petroleum engineer say, "This field has reserves of 1 billion barrels and we expect to produce it for 20 years at a design rate of 150,000 bbl/day." Overview. Crude oil sampling for custody transfer, fiscal, allocation or quality measurement purposes should be performed in accordance with sampling standards of ISO 3171, ASTM D 4177, API 8.2 and IP 6.2.These standards dictate a number of key design issues and steps that must be considered to ensure a system fully complies with the standards.

Petroleum or crude oil is a naturally occurring flammable liquid consisting of a A standard oil measurement system uncertainty is ±0.25% of Standard. Volume

ASTM D3230 Standard Test Method for Salts in Crude Oil (Electrometric Method):The test method measures the conductivity of a solution of crude oil in a mixed alcohol solvent when subjected to an electrical stress. It measures conductivity due to the presence of inorganic chlorides, and other conductive material, in the crude oil.

The term gauging is used to describe the process of measuring the height of the crude in a storage tank, as well as other related activities that determine both the quality and quantity of crude in the tank. A gauger’s task is to determine both the quality and quantity of crude oil through gauging, sampling, and A new chapter for natural gas liquids, refined products, chemicals, and crude oils. The first edition of this standard was published January of 2018 and it replaces Chapter 14.6. Chapter 18.2 addresses custody transfer of crude oil from lease tanks using alternative measurement methods.
