FUNDAMENTALS OF MASS MEASUREMENT (CORIOLIS METERS) The first flow meter utilizing the Coriolis force to measure mass flow was patented in 1978. Today, hundreds of thousands of Coriolis meters are in service in the hydrocarbon industry to measure mass, volume, and density of a wide variety of fluids. The American Petroleum Institute published Chapter 5.6 entitled “Measurement of Liquid Hydrocarbons by Coriolis…

CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUID MEASUREMENT IN PRODUCTION APPLICATIONS With the proliferation of horizontal drilling allowing access to tight oil formations, liquid production in the U.S. has significantly increased over recent years. Consequently, there is renewed interest in accurate measurements for both custody transfer and allocation purposes. Advances in measurement automation have yielded operators’ savings in the millions of dollars annually. Over the last…

AUDITING LIQUID MEASUREMENT FACILITIES The word “Auditing” is often used to imply that activities related to a review of general business practices, and procedures for an asset or business unit, are under way. The objective of those activities is to assure compliance with corporate policies and procedures, industry and government standards, and sound management principles. Additional objectives may include…

Liquids Measurement, What’s an Industry To Do? Liquids measurement in the oil patch is suddenly getting a lotof attention. Some are dismayed at the low level of technology used to measure liquids. Today, custody transfer of 80 to 85% of onshore crude and condensate production is still documented by a hauler climbing to the top of the tank and strapping it. “That…

METER VALIDATION FOR DIFFERENT PRESSURE FLOW MEASUREMENT DEVICES USING ADVANCE METER DIAGNOSTICS Differential Pressure (DP) Flow meters are popular for being relatively simple, reliable and inexpensive. Their principles of operation are relatively easily understood. However, traditionally there has been a misconception that no DP meter self-diagnostic capabilities exist and as such only upgrading to newer ultrasonic or Coriolis technology can help bridge this gap. In 2008 &…

Recognition & Resolution of Problems with Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters Pipeline Operators have used Ultrasonic meters commercially for gas custody transfer applications since the late ‘90’s. These meters’ combination of operating features, including superior rangeability and on-board diagnostics have made this the technology of choice for most high volume gas metering applications. As user comfort with, and capabilities of, the technology has increased and the…
