Why is this event important?
The API Committee on Petroleum Measurement Standards Meeting (COPM) Spring Meeting is the premier event where accuracy is defined in the oil and gas industry. Over five days, industry experts collaborate to develop, review and approve standards governing custody transfer, flow measurement and quantification of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons.
This is an essential technical working event. Participation allows companies to have a say in the regulations that determine how energy resources are measured and monetized globally, ensuring fairness and accuracy in trade.
Key Committee Topics (COPM):
- Dynamic and Static Measurement: Review of standards for flow meters (Coriolis, Ultrasonic, Turbine) and tanks.
- Quality and Sampling: Protocols to determine the quality of crude oil and gas (BS&W, density).
- Evaporation Loss: Strategies and standards for minimizing storage losses.
- Gas and Liquid Measurement: Critical updates to the Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) chapters.
Key Audience: Metering engineers, loss control managers, meter manufacturers, hydrocarbon auditors and compliance specialists.
