The design, certification, commissioning, verification, and routine maintenance of fiscal metering systems require careful execution and expertise. Accuracy is critical; even minor errors can result in significant financial losses for oil and gas operators due to mismeasurement, and can lead to costly legal disputes. Therefore, it is essential to provide engineers involved in these processes with comprehensive training.

This Energy training course on hydrocarbon (Oil & Gas) fiscal metering is part of a series focused on hydrocarbon metering, offering participants a solid understanding of the principles and instrumentation necessary for precise measurement of valuable hydrocarbons.

Key topics covered in this Hydrocarbon Fiscal Flow Metering training course include:

  • An overview of hydrocarbon measurement systems
  • Understanding the interaction between different parameter measurements
  • Flow calculation routines
  • Methods for measuring both liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons

This Hydrocarbon Fiscal Flow Metering training course is designed to help participants understand the financial significance of hydrocarbon flow metering and its impact on the overall profitability of the business.

The Energy training course will provide insights into how measurements are taken and how various parameters interact with one another.

Upon completion of this Hydrocarbon Fiscal Flow Metering training course, participants will be able to:

  • Grasp the connection between fiscal metering and the financial performance of the business
  • Understand the calculations performed by flow computers
  • Comprehend how liquid metering instruments are integrated
  • Learn how gas metering instruments are integrated
  • Recognize the procedures necessary for maintaining a fiscal flow metering station

Being a “portable” training course, it will be predominantly delivered as slides but with a high proportion of technical diagrams. The Energy training course notes accompanying the training modules will be supplied in electronic format.

  • Understanding the financial importance of hydrocarbon measurement
  • Recognizing the consequences of measurement inaccuracies
  • Acknowledging the significance of maintaining accurate measurements (i.e., minimizing uncertainty)
  • Gaining an understanding of how various measurement parameters are interrelated
  • Recognizing the importance of maintaining proper procedures
  • Valuing the importance of effective record-keeping for operations
  • Improved skills for instrument technicians
  • Understanding the interaction between measured parameters in reported data
  • Recognizing the consequences of measurement errors
  • Learning methods to prevent mis-measurements
  • Increased opportunities for career advancement
