Abstract: Gauging, testing, and running of lease tanks is all about Custody Transfer and static measurement. According to the American Petroleum Institute (API) custody transfer measurement provides quantity and quality information used for the physical and fiscal documentation of a change in ownership and/or a change in responsibilities for commodities. In this case we are dealing with lease tanks, which are usually tanks less than a 1000 barrels. Because of the expense of new technology for measurement, combined with the massive number of lease tanks and dealing with small volumes, custody transfer in this environment is still done manually using the same type gauging equipment that has been used for decades. It has improved in time through emphasis on training, education and expanded quality control from production to the end user. There is also emphasis on utilizing APIs Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards and quality gauging equipment traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
