Introduction:
When transferring ownership of precious raw and processed assets, such as petroleum and crude oil, you must be sure that the flow measurements you are getting are incredibly exact and up to tight regional authority standards. Numerous businesses depend on flow monitoring, including those in the oil, power, chemical, food, water, and waste treatment sectors. A flow measurement error of less than 1% in a typical processing facility may easily result in an annual revenue loss of several million dollars to process or operate daily; these industries need the accurate, precise, and repeatable determination of the amount of fluid whether gas, liquid, or steam that passes through a checkpoint.
Throughout this oil and gas flow measurement and custody transfer training session, participants will obtain a solid and practical understanding of custody transfer and flow measurement methods, concepts, and kinds and how to evaluate their impact on the firm's strategic and tactical goals.
