Storage and distribution in oil and gas, safe and efficient

Maximize performance and minimize risk with dependable metering, monitoring and automation

Storage and distribution in the Oil & Gas industry

Storage and distribution in oil and gas industry operations poses competing pressures. Intense market rivalry places an emphasis on plant efficiency as never before. Tank capacity must be optimized, inventory strictly controlled, and processes optimized for loading and transfer. With such imperatives come increased risks to operators and the environment, therefore ensuring operational safety is also vital. The Endress+Hauser portfolio enables simple, safe operations with optimal performance.

75%

of the world tanker fleet are being independently owned. In addition, in the natural gas transport and storage network, nearly all is transported through interstate pipelines owned by at least 70 to 80 companies to over several hundred underground storage facilities. As a result, the storage and transportation represent a labyrinth needing rigorous inspections, compliance standards, and regulations.

Reliable bunker fuel metering

Error-prone volume to mass calculations and air pockets in the fuel can make measurement of bunker fueling an expensive and uncertain process.

Our expertise in the field

Replacing traditional quantity measurement practices with bunker fuel metering systems such as the Endress+Hauser Coriolis flowmeter can increase transparency. Multiple process parameters can be simultaneously monitored via a control panel during fueling. Moreover, air pockets are corrected in the measurement during tank emptying.

  • Increase profitability
  • Improve measuring results
  • Ensure trust between buyers and suppliers
