- (a)Tank gauging. After oil is measured by tank gauging under §§ 3174.5 and 3174.6 of this subpart, the operator, purchaser, or transporter, as appropriate, must complete a uniquely numbered measurement ticket, in either paper or electronic format, with the following information:
- (1)Lease, unit PA, or CA number;
- (2)Unique tank number and nominal tank capacity;
- (3)Opening and closing dates and times;
- (4)Opening and closing gauges and observed temperatures in °F;
- (5)Observed volume for opening and closing gauge, using tank specific calibration charts (see § 3174.5(c));
- (6)Total gross standard volume removed from the tank following API 11.1 (incorporated by reference, see § 3174.3);
- (7)Observed API oil gravity and temperature in °F;
- (8)API oil gravity at 60 °F, following API 11.1 (incorporated by reference, see § 3174.3);
- (9)S&W content percent;
- (10)Unique number of each seal removed and installed;
- (11)Name of the individual performing the tank gauging; and
- (12)Name of the operator.
- (b)LACT system and CMS.
- (1)At the beginning of every month, and, unless the operator is using a flow computer under § 3174.10, before conducting proving operations on a LACT system, the operator, purchaser, or transporter, as appropriate, must complete a uniquely numbered measurement ticket, in either paper or electronic format, with the following information:
- (i)Lease, unit PA, or CA number;
- (ii)Unique meter ID number;
- (iii)Opening and closing dates;
- (iv)Opening and closing totalizer readings of the indicated volume;
- (v)Meter factor, indicating if it is a composite meter factor;
- (vi)Total gross standard volume removed through the LACT system or CMS;
- (vii)API oil gravity. For API oil gravity determined from a composite sample, the observed API oil gravity and temperature must be indicated in °F and the API oil gravity must be indicated at 60 °F. For API oil gravity determined from average density (CMS only), the average uncorrected density must be determined by the CMS;
- (viii)The average temperature in °F;
- (ix)The average flowing pressure in psig;
- (x)S&W content percent;
- (xi)Unique number of each seal removed and installed;
- (xii)Name of the purchaser's representative; and
- (xiii)Name of the operator.
- (2)Any accumulators used in the determination of average pressure, average temperature, and average density must be reset to zero whenever a new measurement ticket is opened.
- (1)At the beginning of every month, and, unless the operator is using a flow computer under § 3174.10, before conducting proving operations on a LACT system, the operator, purchaser, or transporter, as appropriate, must complete a uniquely numbered measurement ticket, in either paper or electronic format, with the following information:
