Why Choose this Training Course?

Custody Transfer defines the point at which ownership changes hands for the process product being measured. This transfer is unique among flow-meter applications since money changes hands and accuracy requirements are higher than they are for most other applications. The custody transfer system must generate detailed and indisputable cargo reports, based on accurate flow measurements and calculations.

In this intensive and highly practical PetroKnowledge Flow Measurement and Custody Transfer training course, participants will gain sound and practical understanding and extend their knowledge of Custody Transfer and Flow Measurement systems, principles and types, and how to assess their impact on the strategic and tactical aspirations of the company.

This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:

  • The laws governing fluids and gases
  • Important principles of flow-metering including accuracy and repeatability
  • Main types and applications of Flowmeters with emphasis on custody transfer
  • Flowmeter proving and calibration techniques
  • Custody transfer principles and applications

What are the Goals?

This PetroKnowledge Flow Measurement and Custody Transfer training course introduces participants to a variety of flow measurement technologies and systems that are used custody transfer applications and gain an understanding about how measurement systems can work properly and accurately.

At the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, the participants will:

  • Have a sound understanding of relevant fluid and gas Laws that are needed for the use of flow measurement devices
  • Understand the main requirements of custody transfer systems
  • Appreciate the main requirements of flow measurements including accuracy and repeatability
  • Be knowledgeable about up-to-date flow measurement meters including Differential Pressure (DP) measurement, turbine meters, positive displacement meters, Coriolis flow measurement, Magnetic and ultrasonic flow measurement
  • Gain the ability to determine if a metering system is adequate for the purpose, select appropriate custody transfer metering systems and identify potential problems
  • Learn about the principles and applications of Multiple meters / meter runs, Flow computers, Quality systems, Calibration, Meter Runs, Proving and Supporting Automation

Who is this Training Course for?

This PetroKnowledge Flow Measurement and Custody Transfer training course is highly relevant to personnel needing a basic understanding of Custody Transfer concepts and requirements and fluid flow measurement techniques and applications.

This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Engineers and Technicians of all disciplines
  • Instrumentation Personnel
  • Procurement and Quality Control Personnel
  • Inspection and Maintenance Engineers

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This PetroKnowledge Flow Measurement and Custody Transfer training course combines structured and focused presentations and discussions of topics covered with relevant examples and question & answer sessions to maximise the benefits to the participants. Relevant computer simulations and videos will be used to emphasise the main topics.

Participants will be provided with comprehensive hard and soft copies of the training course notes and soft copies of all presentation material. These will be very valuable for detailed study and future reference.

Organisational Impact
