Dates Venues Register
14/12/2025 - 18/12/2025 LOS ANGELES

Introduction

Hydrocarbon Fiscal Flow Metering

Objectives

This GLOBAL FRANCHISE training course is intended to give the participants an appreciation of the financial importance of hydrocarbon flow metering and its implications to the profitability of the business.

This training course will explain how the measurements are made and how the different parameters measured interrelate.

By the end of this GLOBAL FRANCHISEraining course, participants will learn to:

  • Understand the correlation between Fiscal Metering and Profitability of the Business
  • Appreciate the Calculations carried out by the Flow Computers
  • Understand how the Liquid Metering Instruments Integrate
  • Understand how the Gas Metering Instruments Integrate
  • Appreciate the Procedures required to Maintain a Fiscal Flow Metering Station

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This full GLOBAL FRANCHISE technical training course is intended for Engineers and Technicians who will be “hands-on” maintaining a Fiscal Metering System or will have other responsibilities for the Management of a Fiscal Metering Station.

This GLOBAL FRANCHISE training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit: 

  • Instrument Technicians wishing to Maintain Fiscal Metering Systems
  • Engineers / Technicians Commissioning Metering Systems
  • Engineers responsible for Fiscal Metering Systems
  • Engineers who need to specify or design a Fiscal Metering System
  • Hydrocarbon Production Reporting Engineers
