API 11.1 and 11.2 - Liquid Hydrocarbon Volume Correction Factors

API Liquid Hydrocarbon Measurement Standards Update

API Liquid Hydrocarbon Measurement Standards Update

Learning Objectives
Review the physical principles underlying EU liquid hydrocarbon volume correction factor computations
API gravity correction for temperature CTL - volume correction for temperature CPL - volume correction for pressure CTPL - combined correction for temperature and pressure

Understand API 11.1 / 11.2 volume correction factor terminology Review API 11.1 - 2004 changes vs. API 11.1 - 1980 Perform Enterprise Upstream (EU) form operations and computations - tank inventories, run tickets, oil meter readings

Liquid Hydrocarbon Volume Correction Factors

Observed (sample) conditions Standard conditions (60F, 1 atm) Liquid (stock tank) conditions EU first corrects API gravity from observed (sample) conditions to standard conditions Volume correction factor is then computed based on liquid (stock tank) conditions

API 11.1 - 2004 summary of changes

Increased supported range of API gravity and liquid temperature
API gravity range -10 to 100API (was 0 to 100API) Temperature range -58 to 302F (was 0 to 300F) Pressure range unchanged at 0 to 1500 psi

Standard density of water 999.016 kg/m3 (was 999.012 kg/m3) ITS-90 temperature scale (was ITS-68 temp scale) VCF rounding is now 5 digits globally Floating point mathematics instead of integer (fixedpoint) mathematics

API Liquid Hydrocarbon Measurement Standards Update

API Liquid Hydrocarbon Measurement Standards Update

Learning Objectives
Review the underlying physical principles of the CTSh correction and the FRA adjustment Learn how to perform EU tank details setup necessary for EU to apply the CTSh correction and the FRA adjustment Demonstrate how EU tank inventories and run tickets forms use CTSh and FRA within liquid hydrocarbon volume computations

Physical Principles and Nomenclature

NSV = {[(TOV FW) * CTSh] + FRA} * CTL * BSW

15

NSV - net standard liquid volume (60 degF, 1 atm) TOV - total observed volume (tank top gauge) FW - free water (tank bottoms) CTSh - tank steel shell temperature correction factor FRA - floating roof displacement adjustment CTL - volume correction factor due to temperature BSW - basic sediment and water (%)

CTSh correction factor

CTSh is the correction factor for the effect of the temperature, both ambient and liquid, on the shell of the tank CTSh = 1 + 2aT + a2T2
a - coefficient of thermal expansion per steel type

T = Tsh - Tb
Tsh - temperature of tank shell Tb - base temperature (60 degF)

Tsh = (7*Tl + Ta) / 8 (non-insulated tanks)

Tl - tank liquid temperature Ta - ambient temperature

FRA adjustment
NSV = {[(TOV FW) * CTSh] + FRA} * CTL * BSW FRA is a positive or negative volume adjustment to account for displacement of the floating roof FRA units are barrels FRA adjustment is not a correction factor FRA = weight (apparent mass of roof)/(density*CTL) Two distinct FRA computation methods
Method A - tank strapping includes FRA Method B - tank strapping does not include FRA
