2019 North American Custody Transfer Measurement Conference (CEESI)

Mustang Sampling to exhibit at the 2019 North American Custody Transfer Measurement Conference (CEESI). Mustang Sampling will be giving 3 presentations during the 2019 North American Custody Transfer Measurement Conference (CEESI)

Kevin Warner, Ph.D. to present “Sample Conditioning and Analysis of Wet Natural Gas”
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) export has affected requirements for metering and analysis traditionally associated with gas bound for distribution. Analysis for contaminants harmful to liquefaction facilities, such as Mercury detection, is required, and cryogenic metering is necessary within facilities. This presentation will explore recent changes to common practices in transmission pipeline measurement resulting from LNG export.

Kevin Warner, Ph.D. to present “The Impact of LNG Export on Conventional Metering, Metrology, and Natural Gas Analysis”
Sample conditioning and analysis of wet natural gas is a growing concern as shale gas comprises a larger portion of the domestic gas supply. This presentation will present case studies from the Eagle Ford and Marcellus regions to illustrate different approaches required to successfully analyze gases with wide ranges of compositions. 

Brad Massey to present “Determining a Practical Corrosion Protection Method of Meter Tubes Following Fabrication”.
Industry end users and meter tube fabricators have tried various methods for preventing rust and corrosion from occurring in meter tubes following fabrication and prior to installation.  These methods have produced varying levels of success which are highly dependent on the method employed, exposure conditions, and exposure time prior to installation.    This paper provides some insightful considerations, discusses conclusive results, and displays the effectiveness of various rust preventive methods in an industry collaborative effort over a six month evaluation period.

This conference brings together meter manufacturers and end users in order to share information about measurement challenges in the hydrocarbon measurement industry. Updates in metering technologies, flow measurement research, industry standards, government regulations, and diagnostic tools are discussed to help mitigate metering challenges.
