Course Description

This course encompasses methods and techniques for accurately measuring crude oil and gas products. It provides insight into the principles of operation of primary dynamic meters and custody transfer metering used in metering skids, including Orifice, PD, turbine, Coriolis, and ultrasonic flow meters. Additionally, it covers secondary measurements such as pressure and temperature transmitters, necessary for precise flow measurement. The course also delves into flow computer operation, utilizing various types, and understanding PD proving using tools like bi-directional pipe provers. Furthermore, it aims to equip participants with the skills to operate accurate and reliable metering stations with minimal measurement uncertainty, including validation system implementation.
