Introduction
The design, certification, commissioning, verification and periodic maintenance are all activities that must be executed with care and the appropriate knowledge. “Near enough is not good enough”. To prevent the resulting operation of the fiscal metering systems, eliminate the possibility of measurement errors that could cost the oil and gas operators millions of dollars in mismeasurements when such issues can often end in the litigation courts. Appropriate training for engineers involved in these activities is considered essential. This hydrocarbon (Oil & Gas) fiscal metering training course is one course in a suite of training courses related to hydrocarbon metering and deals with providing an understanding of the principles and instrumentation required to make an accurate quantitative measurement of valuable hydrocarbons.
This training course will highlight:
- Overview of Hydrocarbon Measurement Systems
- Explains the Interaction between Parameter Measurements
- Explains Flow Calculation Routines
- Explains how Liquid & Gaseous Hydrocarbons are measured
- Explains Procedures Required to Maintain Measurement Accuracy
Objectives
- Understand the correlation between Fiscal Metering and Profitability of the Business
- Appreciate the Calculations carried out by the Flow Computers
- Understand how the Liquid Metering Instruments Integrate
- Understand how the Gas Metering Instruments Integrate
- Appreciate the Procedures required to Maintain a Fiscal Flow Metering Station
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Instrument Technicians wishing to Maintain Fiscal Metering Systems
- Engineers / Technicians Commissioning Metering Systems
- Engineers responsible for Fiscal Metering Systems
- Engineers who need to specify or design a Fiscal Metering System
- Hydrocarbon Production Reporting Engineers
