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

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
Vi Energ Metering Skid comprises
- 1. Flow Meters: Accurate devices used to measure the flow rate of oil. Common types include:
- Coriolis Meters: Measure mass flow and density by detecting changes in vibration caused by the flowing fluid.
- Turbine Meters: Measure flow rate by detecting the speed of a turbine spun by the flowing fluid.
- Ultrasonic Meters: Use ultrasonic sound waves to measure the flow rate of the fluid.
- 2. Temperature Sensors: Measure the temperature of the oil. Temperature correction is necessary for accurate volume measurement since the density of oil changes with temperature.
- 3. Pressure Sensors: Measure the pressure of the oil to ensure it’s within the operating range and to correct for pressure variations that can affect density and flow measurement.
- 4. Automatic Samplers: Devices that collect samples of the oil for quality analysis, which can be used to determine the density and other properties of the oil.
- 5. Control Panel: Centralized system that controls and monitors the entire metering skid. It typically includes:
- Flow Computer: Calculates the total volume of oil based on measurements from the flow meters and correction factors (e.g., temperature and pressure).
- Data Logger: Records measurements and calculations for auditing and verification purposes.
- Communication Interfaces: For integrating with other systems, such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.
- 6. Valves: Automated or manual valves to control the flow of oil through the metering skid. This includes isolation valves, bypass valves, and control valves.
- 7. Pumps: Sometimes included to maintain the required flow rate or pressure in the system.
- 8. Filters: Ensure that the oil being measured is free of impurities that could affect the accuracy of the flow meters.
- 9. Pipeline and Instrumentation: Includes all necessary piping, fittings, and instrumentation to integrate the skid into the existing oil transfer system.
- 10. Calibration Equipment: Tools and systems used to calibrate the flow meters and other measurement devices to ensure accuracy.
- Oil Pipelines: Used to measure and transfer oil between pipelines and facilities.
- Storage Tanks: For accurate measurement when transferring oil from storage tanks to transport vehicles or other storage.
- Marine Terminals: Used in offshore or port facilities to measure oil being loaded or unloaded from tankers.
Applications
Advantages
