Sistemas de control volumétrico para hidrocarburos: investigación y desarrollo del proyecto.

Abstract

The main objective is to analyze the main volumetric control methods (measurement) in the oil industry; the purpose is to determine the appropriate meter that will be used in the hydrocarbons industry for each method. The work consists of the following sections: First section, INTRODUCTION, in which a description of the developed component is made, the objective, scope and theoretical framework are defined. In the theoretical framework, a brief review of concepts is made, in order to understand the importance of volumetric measurements in the hydrocarbon industry, the existing volumetric control methods, storage tanks and flow lines are described. Second section, METHODOLOGY, this section is divided into four parts; in the first two the main static and dynamic measurement methods are presented and analyzed separately. In the remaining two parts, static and dynamic measurement methods are comparatively discussed. Third section, RESULT, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS, based on the analysis carried out, the results obtained from the investigation are presented, and some conclusions and recommendations are listed. Fourth section, BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES, where the sources used for the development of this work are listed. Finally, the fifth section ANNEXES, in this section the normative references used are mentioned, a process for the calibration of vertical storage tanks is described, and the process for the calibration of dynamic meters or flow meters is described. In this way, the general objective and the specific objectives are met.
