Introduction
Sabah has been a key state for the development for Oil, Gas and Energy sector which has contributed significantly to nation building. It locates multiple exploration and development projects with its unique hydrocarbon measurement & allocation. With the aspiration to empower local talents and organisations to actively participate and support local sector, in conjunction of SOGCE 2023, MIDAS Event Management, the organiser of SOGCE in partnership with Semarak Training, the pioneer of Malaysia’s integrated professional training provider is proud to organise the inaugural SOGCE Masterclass with the focus on Metering & Allocation.
Measurements are vital in any activity requiring quantification. It is necessary to the successful operation of production systems to have an understanding of industrial processes, as well as the ability to monitor and control flow rate within those processes.
Liquids or gases will normally be monitored using flow metering at numerous stages along their path from production to consumption for the purposes of both financial and operational control. These measurements are necessary. Because it serves as either a cash register for your company or a means for charging customers, the flowmeter must provide reliable readings.
Even though the user has access to a variety of approaches, it is a well-known truth that a device that is inaccurate (or a device that displays a measurement that is less precise) can cost either the buyer or the seller millions of dollars as a result of reading inconsistencies.
This masterclass aims to provide important understanding on metering & allocation through 4 unique courses to help professionals to carry out jobs with superior capability and confidence that lead to positive business performance. Learning stage and need of each professional might be different, thus this programme is designed to give flexibility where delegate is able to choose to attend single course, combination of courses or complete masterclass (4-in-1).
4 World-Class Courses in 1 Masterclass

- Quizes
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who is new to flow measurement both in a technical and non-technical capacity including technicians, engineers, sales people, administrators and managers. The course is intensive but will make an effective use of delegates’ time.
Course Information

Flow measurement is vital to many industrial sectors: water supply, oil extraction, gas distribution, and much of the process and pharmaceutical industry depend on flow measurement for quality control and custody transfer. To obtain the required level of accuracy at an appropriate price, it is crucial that the right meter is selected for the application and that it is appropriately used. However, the flow meter user is faced with a bewildering array of technologies and conflicting claims from manufacturers.
Objective
This course enables delegates to understand the issues surrounding flow measurement. It also provides the delegate with an unbiased view of the various technologies available and the basic knowledge required to make informed choices. Key aspects of flow measurement, all general meter types and their applications will be discussed and explained.

This course will discuss the challenge associated with oil, water and gas commingled together. This course is focusing on the latest product developed over the last 25 years to address the multiphase flow as presented in the oil and gas industry. This will explain the challenges that oil and gas operators are facing and how this is approached with different technologies on the market today.
This course will address the benefit versus the test separator, the course will also address the subsea business and the fluid properties which are on the critical path for high level of quality measurement.
Objective
This course enables delegates to understand the issues surrounding multiphase and wet gas flow measurement. It also provides the delegate with an unbiased view of the various technologies available and the basic knowledge required to make informed choices. Key aspects of flow measurement, all general meter types and their applications will be discussed and explained. The course will review how to identify the true performance of a MPFM or WGFM.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who is dealing with flow measurement both in a technical and non-technical capacity including technicians, engineers, sales people, administrators and managers. The course is intensive but will make an effective use of delegates’ time.
Course Outline
- Introduction to Multiphase Flow Measurement

A transaction involving physical transfer of oil and gas from one operator to another is known as Custody Transfer. Accurate metering of the fluids being transferred between the two is therefore of vital importance. This one day training course will enable metering engineers to gain a knowledge of how fluids are metered in the oil and gas sector.
Objective
- Understand the requirement for Custody Transfer Measurement.
- Basic sizing techniques.
- Select the optimum meter type.
- Appreciate the various standards and regulations applied.

In Oil and Gas production environments, it is often necessary for operating companies to share production and transportation facilities. It is therefore important that the hydrocarbons entering such facilities are equita- bly allocated between the companies contributing to the system. The process of dividing the produced hydro- carbons, ensuring that each operator gets their allotted share is known as hydrocarbon allocation. This one day course is designed to describe the development of an allocation system and explain the different types of allocation calculations that are commonly applied.
Objective
The course will cover:
- What is Hydrocarbon Allocation?
- Design and development of an allocation system
- Functions of an allocation system
- Proportional allocation
- Mass Allocation
- Uncertainty based allocation by difference allocation
These modules will be complemented by a series of examples and case studies to illustrate the concepts being covered.
Who Should Attend?
- Allocation Engineers
- Instrument engineers
- Production engineers
- Technical managers
- Quality managers
