... a master meter is utilized to prove a LACT meter, it must be calibrated to determine a meter factor utilizing the same flow rate and viscosity product which is expected at the field facility. The meter factor is obtained for the master meter by comparing the volume throughput registered on teh totalizer...

As a starting point it is assumed that the meter tank is, empty and that the level in the surge tank is at Levell...

... on the Coriolis Meters that are used in the LACT units at two different field sites. They were pulling the meter out every month (in some instances within 3 weeks) to clean the meter and have it proved again, due to extensive fouling along the walls of the Coriolis meter tubes. The meter sees flows in the range...

... by means of multiphase flow meter and that measured by means of lease automatic custody transfer (LACT) unit exceeding 5% (Formula 1), which amounts in absolute figures to 20,000 oil barrels a day, where more than a half of all the wells revealed production rate measurement error reaching up to 30-50...

... to further assure stable gas-free liquid. Continuous on-line sensors will monitor water content, temperature, pressure, and flow rate, and will alarm when operating conditions exceed preset 1 imi ts. Automatic diversion or shutdown to prevent shipping oil not meeting measurement standards will be provided...

... available for review. Even with a sophisticated data collection system, interpretation of field results continues to be the single most difficult issue in confirming a reliability of the various probes. Though flow meters can be checked against a tank or a LACT prover, instantaneous full stream water cuts...
