Abstract: Crude oil sampling is a very important aspect in the operation of a custody transfer facility. Today, pipeline companies rely on automatic sampling systems to obtain a representative sample from the crude stream for the purpose of determining quality. Sediment and water (S&W) are non-merchantable components of crude parcels. Therefore, the ability to determine a representative sample of a crude stream is paramount in determining the net standard volume of the transfer. Failure to obtain representative samples of a crude shipment can result in economic losses (or gains) to the custody parties. For example, failure to account for 0.05% of the S&W for a 100,000 barrel transfer can cost 220,000 per year (assuming 12 per barrel).
