What are Measurement Schematics?
- Visual representations illustrating the flow of oil, gas, and other fluids within a system.
- Essential for maintaining accuracy, meeting regulatory standards, and ensuring revenue distribution.
- Provide a simplified overview of various components including:
- Meters
- Valves
- Instrumentation
- Allow operators, production accountants, engineers, and others to monitor flow accurately.
- Enhance understanding of how and where measurements are taken.

Who Needs Measurement Schematics?
Measurement schematics are more than just a visual representation, they are integral to ensuring that companies in the oil and gas sector remain compliant with regulatory standards. All oil and gas producers must follow provincial regulations and guidelines.
Each province has its own set of regulations, though they are all fundamentally similar:
- Alberta - AER Directive 17
- British Columbia - BC Measurement Guideline
- Saskatchewan - Directive PNG017
What Do These regulations Ensure?
- Accurate Reporting: Precise data is paramount for regulators. Measurement schematics ensure the correct capture of oil and gas flow and volumes.
- Consistency: Regulatory bodies have specific standards for measurements. Schematics ensure a standardized approach across all wells and facilities, ensuring consistency in data and reporting.
- Audit Preparedness: With mandated data retention, having a clear schematic allows companies to be audit-ready at any time, reducing the risks of non-compliance penalties.
- Operational Transparency: Regulators and stakeholders demand transparency. Schematics provide a clear, visual flow of operations, making it easier to demonstrate adherence to regulations.
- Environmental Compliance: Proper schematics help in monitoring emissions, waste, and environmental impact, ensuring that companies meet all environmental guidelines set by regulatory bodies.
