Course Introduction

Accurate gas flow measurement plays a vital role in the oil and gas industry, influencing everything from process control to regulatory reporting and fiscal accountability. Small inaccuracies during transfer operations—especially from supplier to customer—can lead to significant financial discrepancies, making precise measurement a top priority.

This Gas Flow Measurement Training Course provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the principles, technologies, and best practices in gas flow measurement. From the selection and installation of metering devices to calibration, operation, and troubleshooting, the course emphasizes how to ensure both accuracy and compliance throughout the measurement lifecycle.

Participants will explore the technical foundation of gas flow measurement, including uncertainty analysis, error sources, and the use of various devices and systems. In addition, the training offers practical insights into regulatory, legal, and fiscal standards that apply to custody transfer and gas metering operations. This Gas Flow Measurement Course prepares professionals to make informed decisions, reduce losses, and uphold measurement integrity across operations.

Training Objectives

By the end of this Gas Flow Measurement Training, participants will be able to:

  • Select and specify the correct gas flow measuring device for different applications
  • Understand the operational principles and theory behind key gas flow measurement tools
  • Maintain and troubleshoot measurement instruments effectively
  • Analyze measurement uncertainty and minimize error
  • Navigate commercial and legal aspects of liquid/gas metering

Training Methodology

This Gas Flow Measurement Training Course employs a dynamic blend of instructional methods to maximize engagement and learning retention. Participants will benefit from instructor-led presentations, real-world case studies, interactive discussions, and hands-on group exercises.
