Abstract: Crude oil quality is critical to the custody transfer process of delivering crude oil to market. The actual process of determining the quality of crude oil is well documented, but can have different meanings depending on the oils location in its life cycle of delivery. In this part of the delivery process, an entire market of third party independent laboratories, production companies, pipeline companies and refineries are responsible for the quality determination at these points of custody transfer in the delivery life cycle of crude oil. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American Petroleum Institute (API) have multiple standards that guide each effected group on how to perform the requested tests in a uniform manner. The standards assure individuals in industry are consistently producing repeatable results within an accepted and documented set of rules that all parties must follow. Now, lets talk for a minute about what these tests mean to you, and each group that handles the crude oil in its cycle of delivery.
