Introduction
Accurate flow measurement is essential to today's oil & gas operations. This course aims to provide training to facility operators, technicians, and engineers, which, once delivered, "keep on working". Participants are encouraged to raise queries both during and at any time after attending the seminar. Participants are also encouraged to bring with them any issues that they may have to the course.
Course Objectives of Oil and Gas Processing Flow Measurement
- Understand the Legal and Commercial Metering Requirements
- Appreciate design criteria and the importance of accuracy
- Understand measurement concepts and types of error
- Understand the basic concepts, the principle of operation, and the equipment used for Gas metering, liquid metering, proving, and sampling
