Why Choose this Training Course?
The design, certification, commissioning, verification and periodic maintenance are all activities that must be executed with care and the appropriate knowledge. “Near enough is not good enough”. To prevent the resulting operation of the fiscal metering systems, eliminate the possibility of measurement errors that could cost the oil and gas operators millions of dollars in mis-measurements when such issues can often end in the litigation courts. Appropriate training for engineers involved in these activities is considered essential.
This PetroKnowledge hydrocarbon (Oil & Gas) fiscal metering training course is one course in a suite of training courses related to hydrocarbon metering and deals with providing an understanding of the principles and instrumentation required to make accurate quantity measurement of valuable hydrocarbons.
