Utah Admin. Code R649-2-8 - Measurement of Production
1. The volume of
oil production shall be computed in barrels of clean oil, on the basis of
acceptable meter measurements, tank measurements, or with such greater accuracy
as may be required by the division. Computations of the volume of oil
production shall be subject to the following corrections:
1.1. The gross volume of oil shall be
corrected to exclude the entire volume of impurities not constituting a natural
component part of the oil.
1.2. The
observed volume of oil after correction for impurities shall be further
corrected to the standard volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, in accordance with
Table 6A of the API/ASTM D-1250, Chapter 11.1, Manual of Petroleum Measurement
(1980), which is incorporated by this reference.
1.3. The observed gravity of oil shall be
corrected to the standard API gravity at 60 degrees Fahrenheit in accordance
with Table 5A of API/ASTM, D-1250, Chapter 11.1, Manual of Petroleum
Measurement (1980), which is incorporated by this
reference.
2. Any gas
shall be measured by an orifice type meter unless otherwise authorized by the
division.
2.1. In computing the volumes of
any gas produced, sold, or injected, the standard pressure base shall be 14.73
pounds per square inch absolute (psia), and the standard temperature base shall
be 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.2. Any
measurements of gas shall be adjusted by computation to these standards,
regardless of the pressure and temperature at which the gas was actually
measured, unless otherwise authorized by the division.
