Abstract/Introduction:
Custody Transfer - flow measurement in which the purpose is to arrive at a volume on which payment is made, or received as ownership is exchanged ? When money/ownership is exchanged, accuracy matters Custody Transfer volumes determine: ? Ownership/Possession ? Value ? Allocations - Production and Fiscal Settled volumes are used for: ? State and Federal Agency Reporting ? Royalty Payments

Implications Of New Blm Regulations On Lact Systems
Author(s): Jorge Delgado
Abstract/Introduction:
Current Order 4 ? LACT systems require Automatic Temperature Compensator ATC/ATG. ? PD meters only. ? Proposed 3174. ? The operator must notify BLM Authorized Officer (AO) within 24h rs of any LACT system failures (3174.7). ? Automatic temperature compensators and temperature and gravity compensators are prohibited and must use temperature averagerinstead (subpart 3174.7). ? Allows Coriolis meters in lieu of PD meters (subpart 3174.9). ? S&W requirements (Subpart 3174.8) ? Area of concern: ? The AO notification time is to short. ? Use of temperature averagerwould require the submission of a va riance or replacement. ? Coriolis meters are not part of the required equipment for LACT systems according to Subpart 3174.8. Subpart 3174.8 number 7 only lists PD meters. ? New S&W requirements will only allow the use of S&W monitors th at are internally plastic coated capacitance probe. Definition of S&W monitor is too specific.

Mitigating Ultrasonic Measurement Uncertainty In The Field
Author(s): Lonna Dickenson Martin Schlebach
Abstract/Introduction:
AGA 9 allows for 0.3% added measurement uncertainty after calibration due to installation effects Even very small amounts of contamination can exceed 0.3% measurement uncertainty depending on the source(s) Common sources of additional uncertainty: - Blockages - Dirt and dust buildup - Black powder - Liquid hydrocarbons - Corrosion - Compressor oils - Debris or other contaminants

2016 North American Custody Transfer Measurement Conference
Author(s): Stephen T. Steve() Stark
Abstract/Introduction:
That first CEESI ultrasonic meter event addressed only ultrason ic meters, but was truly groundbreaking in that there were so few rules in pla ce and no anti-trust requirements or other restrictions - it was pretty much a free for-all but very valuable. It was designed for wi de-open communication with no strings attached. There were only nine gas companies attending (Williams, Norther n Border, Gulf South, Calpine, Enron, SoCal, Duke, Kinder Morgan, and Nor thern Indiana Public Service Co.) and only thr ee vendors (FMC, Instromet, and Daniel).

Using Technology To Automatically Identify Gas Usm Measurement Problems
Author(s): Randy Mcdaniel John Lansing
Abstract/Introduction:
The benefits of gas USM diagnostics are well known : USM technology has reduced LAUF for most companies : Diagnostics are one of the key benefits of the USM : Generally clients obtain diagnostic data by driving to the site : This can be time-consuming & requires a skilled technician : Valuable diagnostic data is obtained from the USM during flow : However, there may not be any gas flow at the time of visit : Thus some of the USM benefits wont be realized

Flow Conditioning
Author(s): Cpa
Abstract/Introduction:
6/27/2016 1 Fluid Flow Conditioning CEESI 2016 CPA Flow Conditioning 2016 June 27, 2016 Flow Conditioning There is no flow meter on the market that needs flow conditioning. All flow meters are effective without any type of flow conditio ning. CPA Flow Conditioning 2016 June 27, 2016 Flow Conditioning Why do we want to use flow conditioners then? Can eliminate up to 80 -90% of pipeline swirl. Restore flow profile symmetry and eliminate distortions. Isolates the flow meter from upstream disturbances. Allows much shorter meter runs to be used with much higher repe atability. Improves the benefits of many USM diagnostics by providing flow stability. Helps with noise or pulsation problems. Helps balance the pressure, velocity and flow rate of meter tub es running in parallel. They UNLOAD the flow meter, helping it become even more accurat e.

Ultrasonics In Non Traditional Measurement
Author(s): Irvin Schwartzenburg
Abstract/Introduction:
Traditionally, Ultrasonics are mostly seen in the Transmission Market ? And for Good Reason ? Best practices in AGA 9 strive to achieve the best measurement at the lowest uncertainty ? Lowest uncertainty translates into dollars ? Example: at a single measurement point, a 24 pipeline @ 50 fps/ 800 PSI ? 715 MMSCF/D ? @ 1.90/BTU.... About 530 M / year ? 0.25% is almost 1.5M / year ?
