The proper selection of metering and proving engineering controls ensures that operational parameters, project scope, and standards are fulfilled. Even so, working downstream from operational processes, setup, and delivery to development and design is the only way to build a feasible and dependable metering system. Only by doing so may expensive disruptions during the execution phase be avoided.
Dubai-based oil and gas systems giant; OGSI throws light on things to be considered while choosing an appropriate metering system.
Compliance
Metering systems should cater to the project's and its stakeholders' demands. Therefore, identifying the appropriate metering technology is critical to cumulative system efficiency. The selection of a flow meter is dependent on various variables such as operational parameters, metering skid costs, and regulatory compliances. OGSI builds metering systems that comply with national as well as international standards multiple types of meter likely Ultrasonic, Orifice, Turbines, and Coriolis.
On-site meter proving
It is necessary to evaluate the operation of the metering skid and the practicality of on-site proving and validity of chosen metering techniques in compliance with legislative requirements and industry standards. OGSI offers a complete proving range, including a master meter to verification stations.
Sampling and analysis
The metering system includes sampling and assessing the parameters of the working fluid. Standard components for gas metering systems include sample conditioning, gas chromatographs, and due point analyzers. In addition, density, viscous, sulfur meters, and even autosamplers are included in liquid metering systems.
The sampling and analytical units might be placed in specifically constructed analyzer containers for autonomous or supervised operation. In addition, they could be outfitted with ecological safety systems such as HVAC or thermal insulation.
Data management and security
Along with flow metering, quality attributes should always be periodically and correctly monitored and recorded. Quantifiable and qualified data should be accessible for Custody transfer entities. All the readings and calibration data from the measuring instruments should be appropriately processed and archived for further analysis and invoicing. The Supervisory System from OGSI provides extensive functionality and high data security.
Integration
It is critical to note that a custody transfer metering system that is precise and efficient is a sophisticated engineering output. It is built on the seamless integration of various units, each maintaining its operational qualities and assuring overall system precision, reproducibility, and stability during its entire working duration.
About OGSI
Oil and Gas Systems International (OGSI) has extensive expertise in the design, production, as well as calibration of metering systems for custody transfer and process applications. By far, the company has manufactured and installed over 400 Custody Transfer Metering systems.
