Abstract: As one of my true and trusted friends says, Counting is easy, but measuring is not so easy. What he means by this is, without establishing any rules you and I could agree on how many tanks there are in a tank farm. The difficulty comes in when we start to try and agree upon how many barrels or cubic meters are in the tanks. Measurement becomes more difficult when the things that we rely on to do the measuring, meters and provers, are not predictable in their performance. When this happens, quite often the reason for the unpredictability is not apparent. However, because of the value of todays liquid hydrocarbons, the problem must be corrected in a timely manner. Therefore someone must analyze the situation and eliminate each possible contributor to the problem until only one remains. This process is called troubleshooting. Thats what we will be talking about in this paper. Because of space constraints and knowledge limitations, especially the later, this paper is not an exhaustive list of problems and solutions. But, hopefully we will discuss something that might be of some help to some people. We will start with the different type of provers in use today.
