Abstract: The barrel of crude oil we buy or sell occupies a volume equal to 42 U.S. gallons at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and contains no impurities (BS&W). This barrel is commonly known as the net standard barrel and is the recognized unit of measure for purchases, sales, royalty payments, taxes, and so on. However, the barrel we physically measure and test occupies a volume of 42 U.S. gallons at whatever temperature it is measured, including suspended BS&W. This barrel is commonly known as the gross barrel, and obviously cannot be employed as the net barrel. The employee WHO actually measures, samples, tests and runs crude oil is called the gauger, regardless of his normal job classification. It is the responsibility of the gauger to provide the accurate measurement and test data necessary to determine the net standard barrel.
