Reduce LACT Cost – Coriolis Measurement with Integral Temperature Averager
Reduce LACT Cost – Coriolis Measurement with Integral Temperature Averager OIL & GAS RESULTS • Cost savings of approximately $4,000 per installation • API MPMS compliant average temperature calculations • Smaller overall footprint for Coriolis-based LACT skid APPLICATION Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) units are used to measure the Net Standard Volume (NSV) of crude oil produced at a production lease. One input to NSV calculations is a temperature flow-weighted average (TWA) value over the contract run period. Micro Motion white paper number WP-001979 provides a detailed description of LACT units and NSV calculations. CHALLENGE Historically, LACT units used mechanical positive displacement flow meters with external temperature averagers to record TWA for NSV calculatio
