ASGMT has been providing Oil & Gas end-user personnel, manufacturing employees and university students the opportunity to obtain technical training from over 115 lecture classes and 48 hands-on equipment training classes.
Over the past 30 years, gas ultrasonic meters have transitioned from the engineering lab to wide commercial
use as the primary device of choice to measure gas volume for custody transfer accounting. Wide acceptance
and use by gas pipeline companies has occurred during this time due to the device’s
This paper discusses fundamental principles of ultrasonic gas flow meters used for measurement of natural gas and the available basic diagnostic capability to assess meter operation and performance.
Gas chromatography is one of the most widely used techniques for analyzing hydrocarbon mixtures. Some of the
advantages of chromatography are the range of measurement (from ppm levels up to 100%), the detection of a wide
range of components, and the repeatability of the measurements
This document will provide the reader with a basic overview of transfer proving techniques and
procedures with respect to rotary and diaphragm gas meters.
Today’s smart measurement devices produce significant diagnostics information. When the diagnostics from the various devices are collected, trended, and integrated, operators can remotely and continuously identify measurement problems. The vocabulary associated with this topic is evolving. In the past, the industry used terms such as SCADA and Condition Based Monitoring to describe this process.
The United States Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) is a department of the U.S. Federal Government which oversees all
issues regarding transportation within the United States of America and U.S. Territories.
Well and pipeline flow rates are often variable. Shale wells experience a steep decline curve. Pad drilling can bring on new wells, increasing flow, followed by declining flow in the future. This paper describes a strategy that can be employed to increase the operational flow range over which an orifice meter may be operated, thus …
Some major problems and unique solutions will be addressed with gas measurement on offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. This presentation will show the major roll safety, transportation, and weather play in the technician’s ability to verify the accuracy of the gas measurement facility.
The drill bit penetrates a rock formation thousands of feet below the surface of the earth, a steel casing is slid into the hole, and perforations are made to the casing that reach into the surrounding rock.
The measurement of oil & gas production has progressed considerably since the days of paper charts and manual integration.
While still in use today, the technology has moved increasingly to microprocessor based flow computers. Such devices allow
for greater measurement accuracy, increased control functionality, and are readily integrated into a company’s enterprise
computer networks.
ASGMT is dedicated to training, education, and creating a better future through the people who learn from us. As the largest gas measurement school in the United States, we are devoted to natural gas measurement, pressure regulation, flow control, and other measurement related arenas.
