Midstream Flow Measurement in Oil & Gas Industry

In the oil and gas industry, midstream operations encompass the transportation, storage, and processing of extracted hydrocarbons from upstream facilities to refineries or distribution centers. Flow measurement in midstream plays a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient and safe transfer of crude oil, natural gas, and related products through pipelines, terminals, and transportation vessels. One primary application of flow measurement in midstream operations is Pipeline Monitoring. Accurate measurement of flow rates within pipelines is essential for maintaining operational efficiency, detecting leaks or irregularities, and ensuring the integrity of the transportation system. This information aids in managing pipeline capacity, optimizing throughput, and preventing potential environmental hazards.

Midstream Measuring Areas

Pipeline flow metering: Accurately measuring the volume of oil and gas transported through pipelines is essential for billing, inventory management, and ensuring delivery contracts are met.

Tanker and truck loading/unloading: Flow meters precisely measure the amount of oil and gas transferred during loading and unloading operations, preventing disputes and ensuring accurate invoicing.

Storage tank management: Monitoring storage tank filling and emptying rates optimizes inventory levels and helps prevent overflows or depletion.
