Abstract: Basic sediment and water, commonly notated as BS&W, is a critical piece of information utilized by many producers in industry. The accurate and precise monitoring of BS&W content in crude oil (i.e. crude oil quality) is necessary for both pipelines and custody-transfers. This test is commonly conducted on-site, however, this test can also be measured under a laboratory setting. Although both the field and lab employ the use of a centrifuge to determine BS&W content there are inherent uncertainties in its quantification. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and examine potential sources of error for the estimation of BS&W in crude oil by both field and lab centrifuge methods. In addition, this paper will also discuss best practice techniques to manage the inherent uncertainties in centrifuge methods.
