LACT Skid System

Elevate your Oil & Gas operations with Emphor IPS’ advanced LACT Systems

Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) Units for the Oil and Gas Industry

In the Oil and Gas industry, the precise measurement and transfer of hydrocarbons is critical for ensuring fair transactions and adherence with regulatory standards. One of the most reliable and efficient systems designed to achieve this purpose is the Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) unit. These units play a crucial role in ensuring accurate measurement and secure transfer of crude oil from production sites to transportation or storage facilities. Implementing LACT units enables oil operators to effectively streamline their custody transfer operations while guaranteeing the accurate quantity and quality of oil for all parties involved.

What are LACT Units?
A LACT Unit helps in maintaining accurate transaction records by measuring the flow rates of oil and water during the transfer process. A representative sample of the oil is taken, which is then used for quality analysis to ascertain that the oil meets specified standards and contractual requirements. By leveraging automated systems, LACT units significantly minimise the risk of human error, maintain compliance with industry regulations, and offer transparency in the measurement and quality assurance process.
Key Components
The LACT unit’s sampling system comprises several vital components such as probes, container and circulating pump designed to ensure precision and reliability in custody transfer operations. These components work in synergy to maintain the integrity of the samples, ensuring that the measurements taken during the custody transfer are highly accurate and reliable.
Sampling Requirements:

  1. Sample Size and Frequency
    Accurate sampling is pivotal to the effective operation of LACT units. A representative sample is generally collected over a 24-hour period or during a batch process at a specific flow rate and frequency. This sample, typically around 10 litres, is key for laboratory analysis, enabling the verification of the oil’s quality. A surplus sample is retained for dispute resolution purposes. All sampling needs to be performed in compliance with API 8.2 and API 8.3 standards to maintain consistency and accuracy.

Performance Monitoring:

  1. System Performance
    To maintain accuracy in data and optimal performance, LACT systems need continuous monitoring. The performance of the sampling system needs to be closely scrutinised during each batch to guarantee the reliability of the data. Regular performance reports enable operators to track the efficiency of the system and intervene promptly in the event of an issue, ensuring the smooth operation of the unit throughout the custody transfer process.

Benefits of LACT Units

The implementation of LACT units offers several operational benefits to oil and gas companies, including:

  • Accuracy: LACT units offer accurate measurements, ensuring that transactions are based on reliable data. This precision is important for fair financial settlements between buyers and sellers.
  • Efficiency: Automated LACT skids considerably minimise the need for manual intervention, reducing the risk of human error and accelerating operations. The streamlined process results in faster custody transfers.
  • Compliance: LACT units enable operators to comply with industry regulations and standards by ensuring precise measurement and complete documentation.
  • Quality Control: The integration of automated sampling systems ensures that the quantity of oil is constantly monitored and analysed, in adherence with contractual and regulatory requirements.
  • Reliability: Modern LACT units are designed for durability and can perform efficiently in even the most challenging field conditions, reducing downtime and lowering maintenance costs.
