Abstract: Crude oil terminals are an integral part in our industry for many years now. In prior years, we were in need of several millions of barrels of crude oil per day to feed the refineries the raw material from which diesel, gasoline, and many other products in high demand. With our ever changing world and the areas that crude oils are being found, we now are seeing many of these oils exported instead of imported. The most economical means of getting these crudes to the different continental markets is by way of shipping transportation. This needs to be done quickly, and more important- ACCURATELY! There are several parties that take great interest when dealing with crude oil. They include the owner, terminal, U.S. customs, vessel owners, independent section companies, and the buyers. Along with these interests, there are legal and contractual requirements, and measurements that must meet custody transfer requirements. The measurement requirements are generally covered by the American Petroleum Institutes (API) Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS).
