LACT Solutions in Oil & Gas - G&C Optimizations

Meeting Industry Standards with LACT Units

In the oil and gas industry, accurate measurements are crucial for ensuring efficient operations and maintaining the integrity of transactions. Whether it’s tracking the transfer of hydrocarbons from production facilities to pipelines or monitoring the volume and quality of bulk liquids, precise measurement data is essential. This accuracy plays a huge role in financial accountability, regulatory compliance, and maintaining trust with stakeholders.

A Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) unit is a specialized system used in the oil and gas industry to automate the transfer of hydrocarbons while ensuring precise measurements during custody transfers. At G&C Optimization, we are dedicated to enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of these critical processes with our advanced LACT solutions. Read on and contact us today to learn more about how these LACT solutions can help you.

Flow Meters

Flow meters are the backbone of any LACT unit, responsible for measuring the volume of hydrocarbons passing through the system. At G&C Optimization, we utilize high-quality flow meters that deliver precise readings, essential for ensuring that the correct amount of oil or gas is transferred. This accuracy supports operational efficiency and compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Temperature and Pressure Sensors

The custody transfer process requires monitoring the conditions under which measurements of hydrocarbons are taken. Temperature and pressure can significantly impact the density and flow rate of hydrocarbons. Our LACT units are equipped with advanced temperature and pressure sensors that continuously monitor these variables, ensuring that measurements remain accurate even as operational conditions change.

Proving Systems

To ensure the accuracy of the flow meters and other measurement devices, LACT units often include provers. Provers are specialized devices that calibrate and verify the accuracy of flow meters, ensuring that all measurements are within acceptable accuracy ranges. Regular calibration with provers is essential for maintaining the reliability of the LACT unit and ensuring that all custody transfers are conducted with the highest level of accuracy.

Control Valves

Oil and gas automation is a critical aspect of modern operations, and control valves play a pivotal role in this process. These valves regulate the flow of hydrocarbons through the LACT unit, ensuring that the transfer process is smooth and efficient. At G&C Optimization, we incorporate advanced control valves into our LACT units, allowing for precise control and adjustment during the transfer process. This automation reduces the risk of human error and enhances overall system efficiency.

Sample Systems

In addition to volume and condition measurements, it is crucial to assess the quality of the hydrocarbons being transferred. LACT units typically include sampling systems that automatically collect samples of the oil or gas during the transfer. These samples are analyzed to ensure that the product meets quality standards before being accepted into the pipeline or storage. G&C Optimization’s LACT solutions include state-of-the-art sampling systems that provide operators with reliable quality control.

Data Acquisition Systems

Our LACT solutions at G&C Optimization are equipped with advanced data management systems that enable real-time monitoring and reporting of transfer operations. These systems ensure that all data related to the transfer process is accurately recorded, easily accessible, and integrated with existing infrastructure. This capability is crucial for making informed operational decisions, complying with regulatory requirements, and maintaining transparency with stakeholders.

Accurate measurements are the cornerstone of successful oil and gas operations, ensuring that custody transfers are both reliable and efficient. LACT units play a vital role in automating these processes while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and regulatory compliance.
