Oil Custody Transfer Metering Skid

Metering Skid is a Custody transfer flow meter where the fiscal calculations are determined and it is used for Oil & Gas applications in the Truck loading facility, Jetty facility. Metering Skid comprises of fluid filtration, pressure regulation, metering section and flow control.

ViENERG manufactures DNV certified Metering skids to oil & gas producers.Production facilities must also accommodate accurate measuring and sampling of the crude oil. This can be done automatically with a

Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) unit or by gauging in a calibrated tank.

Common Applications

Upstream Oil and gas production industry

Downstream Oil and gas process industry

Truck loading Gantries

Advantages of our Metering Skids

Compact and modular skid with all instrument and controls

Easily transportable

Smaller foot print

Oil Custody Transfer Metering Skid

VI ENERG’s oil custody transfer metering skid is a specialized system used in the oil and gas industry to accurately measure and transfer oil from one party to another during transactions. Custody transfer are widely used in truck Loading and Unloading Gantrie where measurement need to be more accurate, Skid is also used in Diesel Laoding, Fuel Oil Loading and production chemicals loading gantries

LEASE AUTOMATIC CUSTODY TRANSFER METERING SKID

Lease Automatic custody transfer simply means automatic gauging, sampling, and shipping of oil from the lease tank farm to the pipeline . Two methods are in current use: the meter type and the volumetric dump type. Other basic equipment, such as automatic cut determination device, temperature recorder, and sampling device are essentially standard for both types. In both methods, oil from storage is pumped through the water content (water cut) determination device where the oil is either routed on through the system or bypassed back to the dehydration equipment,depending on the water content of the oil. The oil flows to a deaerator and then through the meter where the volume is determined. A temperature compensation device corrects the meter with an electrically driven sampler. The electrically driven sampler can be actuated by a pulse from the meter. Float switches on the storage tank start and stop the unit as required. The volumetric dump type unit operates in the same manner as the meter unit, except that two calibrated tanks are alternately filled and dumped, each dump registering on a counter. Both types lend themselves readily to telemetering results to control centers. Data, such as temperature, pressure, water cut, and volumetric rate of flow, are easily transmitted and recorded at remote locations. Installation of LACT, where applicable, results in a saving in labor cost and a uniform scheduling for pipeline operation. This type of product handling is replacing the old manual gauging, sampling, and shipping methods. Remote-reading tank level gauges should be included in this section. Gauges are available to determine, record, and transmit, for remote reading, the level in any selected tank of a battery.

Advantages

  • Accuracy: Provides highly accurate measurements essential for financial transactions and regulatory compliance.
  • Automation: Reduces the need for manual measurement and minimizes human error.
  • Data Integration: Allows for seamless integration with other systems for monitoring, reporting, and control.
