Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the online, real-time measurement of water in crude oil and other hydrocarbon products flowing through a pipeline. As noted in the former American Petroleum Institute (API) Draft Standard, Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS), Chapter 10.11, this device is referred to as an Online Water Device (OWD). For over 40 years, the OWD has been used as a BS&W monitor to detect water in crude oil. As of the date of this paper, these devices are being tested to determine if they are suitable for custody transfer i,e, the measurement of both the quality (water, only) and quantity of water in crude oil transported through a pipeline. Most of the authors experience has been with crude oil therefore this paper will deal with crude oil and the OWD.
