Abstract: This paper is a review of the critical measurement issues to consider when designing an in-line crude oil blending system and how these variables will affect the performance and therefore ultimately the cost savings/profits delivered by the system. Metering systems and their design philosophy are generally well understood. However, in Canada many companies are using metering technology combined with analyzers and control systems for blending crude oil. This can lead to a higher level of complexity than a metering system. This paper will explore the critical measurement issues that need considering when designing a crude oil blending system and how these variables can affect the performance and cost savings delivered by the system. It contains international case studies of successfully executed crude oil blending systems where the clients were blending heavy and light crude oils to optimize both the sale price and the transportability (i.e. maximize pipeline capacity) immediately downstream of the blending system.
