Abstract: What is a Liquid Measurement Field Survey? Isnt that just another name for an Audit? In the Oil Industry, the two are often considered to be the same. There are indeed similarities between the two, but there are also distinct differences. An Audit is usually conducted by an Auditor either from the corporate internal audit group or from an external independent auditing company. This type of audit is an official examination and verification of accounts and records to assure that adequate control is provided for company assets. It is a review to assure that established procedures are followed, calculations are done correctly, and the accounting process is correct and current. A Measurement Survey is a review of field facilities and operations usually conducted by either in-house measurement specialists or qualified outside consultants. The purpose of the survey or review is to ensure the proper equipment is used, the equipment is installed in accordance with the manufacturers and/or industry guidelines, proper measurement procedures are followed, and personnel are properly trained. One of the major differences between the two is that the Audit verifies that the established procedures are being followed, while the Measurement Survey verifies the procedures are indeed the correct procedures for the specific task, not just are they being followed.
