This course is designed to enhance the understanding and application of Loss Control concepts for custody transfers for crude and products, as well as refinery, marketing, and pipeline monthly mass and volume balances.
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- The course will enable participants to develop overall System Capability of their respective plant or pipeline
- operations within which the system will provide a monthly balance. It will also enable engineers and
- operations to take steps to maintain their respective systems under control.
- The course will also promote understanding and application of API standards for custody transfers. Loss
- control coordinators and engineers would have better technical understanding of custody contracts and reconciliation criteria between two parties in custody contract.
