Oil and gas measurement is the process of quantifying the mass or volume of hydrocarbons produced as the oil & gas is sold to a buyer along the supply chain. In the United States, oil and gas metering usually begins at the wellsite, as mandated by law.
Before custody transfer, the operator will separate oil or natural gas. Entrained solids, water vapor, and other impurities are removed from crude oil before it is quantified and sold. Similarly, water vapor, sulfur, and other contaminants are extracted from natural gas. After cleanup, the oil and gas must meet a certain specification in order to qualify to be sold.
How Is Oil Measured in the Field?Crude oil is an unrefined mix of hydrocarbon fluid that has been obtained from an oil well. This liquid is primarily what is sold as a commodity. The unit of sale is barrels of crude (BBL) which is equivalent to 42 US gallons. After separating water molecules and sediment from crude, the volume can be ascertained using one of two methods:
For small volumes (1-100 barrels of oil per day), oil measurement is carried out directly from storage tanks in runs. A run is the process of drawing oil drawn from a lease location and transporting it off-site for treatment.
First, we take a sample of crude and place it in a centrifuge for a ‘shake-out’ test which separates the water molecules and sediments from the mixture. Afterward, the volume of a run is measured by lowering a measuring strap into the storage tank. This device is weighted on one end and contains an outlet valve which opens to discharge fluid into a pipeline or truck nearby. When the storage tank is almost empty, a second measuring strap reading is taken (and the volumes compared) to find the exact volume of oil drawn.
