David J. Fish Senior Vice President Welker, Inc. Vice Chairman API COMQ

Outline Chapters 8 & 10

• The history • The scope • The content • The connections • The future

API Chapter 8 and Chapter 10

• Two critical custody transfer chapters • International influence and acceptance • Used by other SDO’s as guidance • The basis for much collaborative work • The basis for large monetary exchange

API Chapter 8 and Chapter 10

• Both Chapters fall under a joint API/ASTM sub-committee

• API Committee on Petroleum Measurement • ASTM D02 Petroleum Products and Lubricants

• API COMQ • Sampling TAG and Sediment & Water TAG

• ASTM D02.02 • 02B – Sampling, Sediment and Water

Chapter 8 – Sampling Section

Chapter 8 – Sampling Section

• Techniques and guidelines for both the manual and automatic extraction of samples from tanks and pipelines

• Recommendations on handling, transfer and transportation of the sample

• Procedures for mixing and preparation of the sample for analysis (API Chapter 10)

Chapter 8 – Sampling Section

• 8.1 Manual Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products – Primary focus for years – Crude Oil – Various manual sampling techniques and

equipment – Current version approved – Complete rewrite currently being worked

on

Chapter 8

• 8.2 Automatic Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products – Primary focus for years – Crude Oil – Automatic sampling system design and

performance guidelines. – Current version approved – Complete rewrite currently being worked

on

Chapter 8

• 8.3 Mixing and Handling of Liquid Samples of Petroleum and Petroleum Products – Primary focus for years – Crude Oil – Current version approved – Complete rewrite currently being worked

on – Focus on 8.1 and 8.2 techniques

Chapter 8

• 8.4 Sampling and Handling of Fuels for Volatility Measurement – Primary focus for years – Low Vapor

Pressure Fuels – Current version approved – Complete rewrite currently being worked

on – More focus on 8.1 techniques

Chapter 8

• Focus of the Re-write will be to expand the scope of Chapter 8 – General Introduction to Liquid Sampling – Crude Oil – Refined Products – Feed Stocks – Additional Petroleum Products not

covered in other areas.

Chapter 10 – Sediment and Water

Chapter 10 – Sediment and Water

– A Chapter 10 Users Guide soon to be available – Thanks to Kristen Nelson – Alyeska Pipeline – Guidance through the various methods

• Scope – Range • Limitations • Application - Sensitivity

Chapter 10 – Sediment and Water

• Chapter 10.1 – Standard Test Method for Sediment in Crude Oils and Fuel Oils by the Extraction Method – Focus on Sediment in oil – Primarily a Laboratory Procedure – Laboratory apparatus – Typically up to .4% mass

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.2 – Determination of Water in Crude Oil by the Distillation Method – Focus on Water in Crude Oil – Laboratory Procedure – Laboratory Apparatus

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.3 – Standard Test Method for Water and Sediment in Crude Oil by the Centrifuge Method – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.4 – Determination of Water and Sediment in Crude Oil by the Centrifuge Method (Field Procedure) – Written for field personnel – Primarily in a field setting

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.5 – Standard Test Method for Water Determination in Petroleum Products and Bituminous Materials by Distillation – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.6 – Standard Test Method for Water and Sediment in Fuel Oils by the Centrifuge Method (Laboratory Procedure) – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.7 – Standard Test Method for Water in Crude Oils by Potentiometric Karl Fischer Titration – Primarily a fixed Lab setting – .02 – 2% water in Crude

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.8 – Standard Test Method for Sediment in Crude Oil by Membrane Filtration – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting – Due to the apparatus and detail, this is not

a widely used method, but still viable.

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.9 – Standard Test Method for Water Crude Oils by Coulometric Karl Fischer – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting – .02 to 5% mass

Chapter 10

• Chapter 10.10 – Is a Technical Report – Continuous On-line Measure of Water Content in Petroleum (Crude Oil and Condensate) – Due to limited OWD’s (Online Water

measurement Devices), there was not enough established data and use to elevate to the level of a standard at this time.
