ALL MARKETABLE OIL TO BE RECEIVED FOR TRANSPORATION By the term “marketable oil” is meant any crude petroleum adapted for refining or fuel purposes, properly settled and containing not more than two percent (2.0%) of basic sediment, water, or other impurities above a point six (6) inches below the pipeline connection with the tank. Pipelines shall receive for transportation all such “marketable oil” tendered; but no pipeline shall be required to receive for shipment from any one person an amount exceeding three thousand (3,000) barrels of petroleum in any one day; and, if the oil tendered for transportation differs materially in character from that usually produced in the field and being transported there from by the pipeline, then it shall be transported under such terms as the shipper and the owner of the pipeline may agree or the commission may require. 2. BASIC SEDIMENT, HOW DETERMINED – TEMPERATURE In determining the amount of sediment, water or other impurities, a pipeline is authorized to make a test of the oil offered for transportation from an average sample from each such tank, by the use of centrifugal machine, or by the use of any other appliance agreed upon by the pipeline and the shipper. -
Oil & Gas Custody Transfer
Process Solutions Guide Oil & Gas Custody Transfer Crude Oil Crude Oil Natural Gas Distribution Natural Gas Liquids Refined Products Crude Oil is the first unit in this four-step overview of the Custody Transfer process Overview of Crude Oil Process Some 80 million barrels of oil per day is typically transported from producing oilfields around the world. Trucks, trains and pipelines are utilized to move oil over land to high capacity storage terminals, refinery facilities or exportation ports. Tankers ship the majority of the world's internationally traded crude oil from producing to consuming nations. Small diameter ‘gathering’ pipelines (approximately 2-8 inches in diameter) collect crude oil from different oil production facilities into central storage facilities or into ‘trunk’ lines (generally 8-24 inch diameter) which move oil in bulk over great distances. Crude oil may be stored in tanks at a storage terminal to better manage changes in supply and demand. A storage terminal may also have truck and rail car off-loading facilities to support other means of oil gathering transportation. Crude oil pipeline companies are generally separate from the producing/receiving companies and only provide transportation services for crude oils that vary widely in density, viscosity, sulfur content, and in other fluid properties. As such, pipeline operations regulate the amount of water and sulfur that can be transported and end-users strictly specify by contract the oil quality that they are purchasing. Computer-aided automation systems - located in central control rooms - monitor rates of flow, pressures and fluid characteristics to quickly detect possible pipeline leaks and to control pipeline valves and pumps to ensure contractual demands are met. -

The Basics of Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters for Custody Transfer
BASICS OF ULTRASONIC FLOW METERS David Crandall Flow Solutions Sales Manager Cameron Measurement Systems 1000 McClaren Woods Drive Coraopolis, PA 15108 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to explain the measurement of natural gas for custody transfer applications through the use of ultrasonic meters. Specifically, this paper explains the operation of ultrasonic meters, issues surrounding their performance in natural gas, calibration procedures, and proper installation considerations. Additionally, the electronics making the measurements generate calculated values relating to the operation of the meter and as a result a database is available to provide analysis of the meter’s ongoing performance. Meter health parameters can be evaluated to verify the meter’s operation and these principles are explained. Background The ultrasonic meter measures and calculates volumetric flow by summing weighted fluid velocities across the meter diameter. Piezo electric transducers are mounted on opposite sides of the meter to form one or more measuring paths and these measuring paths provide the average fluid velocity. The volumetric flow calculation is the fluid velocity of each path times the cross sectional area. The conversion of individual path velocities into volumetric flow is performed through the use of Gaussian integration techniques. Both liquids and gases are measured using ultrasonic flow meters. The reasons most frequently cited for implementing ultrasonic flow meters are: Low Pressure Loss – Ultrasonic meters have no moving parts and the pressure losses are typically equal to the length of equivalent pipe. High flow rates - An ultrasonic meter handles exceptionally high flow rates with a single meter. There are installations of ultrasonic meters with meter diameters of 30 inches. -
