Oil & Gas Flow Solutions

for Fiscal Measurement

Emerson Oil & Gas Flow Solutions for Fiscal Measurement

Performance requirements have become more stringent –

with unrelenting pressure for improved reliability, accuracy,
linearity, repeatability and rangeability.
Industrial Flow Measurement

Oil and gas fiscal measurement accuracy for allocation and custody transfer depends on
many factors including measurement technology, fluid quality, rate of production, operating
conditions, and process complexity. None of these challenges, however, reduce the burden
to ensure the accurate measurement of these royalty-bearing volumes of oil and gas.
A correct fiscal measurement system not only supports compliance, but helps maximize
overall fluid production and movement efficiency.

Different flow technologies are used for all applications, but custody transfer is one
of the most important applications.
