Notes to the regulation on the measurement of petroleum for fiscal purposes and for the calculation of CO ₂-fee to the chapter in the Introductory provisions Of § 1 scope After the Petroleum Law § 1-4 applies to the regulations also for plants on land if the petroleum is transported to the plant by pipeline from the continental shelf and the measurement for practical reasons be made on land in Norway. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate will, in such cases, to coordinate the supervisory activity with Metrology (JV) as shown to the cooperation agreement between the two agencies. At terminals abroad where Norwegian petroleum landed with the pipeline make the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate measure technical supervision in collaboration with the relevant authorities of the State concerned, cf. the Petroleum Law § 1-4 first paragraph other periods.
CO ₂-free measurement: CO ₂-tax is calculated per field/gadgets. According to the CO ₂-tax law § 5 is the Ministry of finance that hits the provisions regarding the size and scope of the fee.
The regulation applies to the measurement of natural gas that is used for the operation of internal combustion machines, and for the natural gas being burnt or vented to the atmosphere. Discharge of pure CO ₂ being taxed for the same tax rate as natural gas that is used for combustion. This regulation does not apply to other fuels than natural gas when it comes to requirements to the measuring system.
The regulation also applies to the use of diesel fuel for the operation of internal combustion machines. Diesel amounts are fee-based for removable devices that perform help functions for devices and is associated with the facilities that produce oil or gas, Diesel quantities should be documented and reported as provided in this regulation, § 29. Diesel constitute a relatively limited part of the fuel consumption in the petroleum business. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has therefore not found it appropriate to detaljregulere in this regulation how diesel to mengdebestemmes.
At startup of new fields begin CO ₂-fee to run from the time when the petroleum from the first producing well inserted in the facility's process system. From this point all the burning of natural gas or diesel on the person in question be taxable. device
Drilling of production wells from removable devices are not covered by the fee. Removable device that has a direct connection to a production facility is taxable. Wells that are identified as exploration wells will be except tax duty, even when they drilled from the plant with the tax duty.
When the production of petroleum in cease connection with the shutdown of a field, that is, when the recovery of petroleum from the instance terminates and the plant is without hydrocarbons, it shall no longer be paid CO ₂-fee. For devices without own production of petroleum should not be paid CO ₂-fee after the facility's main function is stopped. With devices without own production is meant for example, pump/compressor platforms.
Water vapour or nitrogen as of prosessmessige causes included in the gas amounts to flaring, it may upon application for deduction.
NOx-free measurement the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate is the competent authority for fixed installed devices on the continental shelf and can authenticate the source-specific emission factor upon application from the taxable, including method of measurement or calculation method to determine the size of the NOx emissions, jf. Regulation 11. December 2001 No. 1451 about excise duties section 3-19-7.
Customs and Excise (TAD), by Customs regions manages the innkrevingsmessige and legal matters regarding the fee. Oil's (OD) responsibilities include the technical responsibility for the firm installed the devices on the continental shelf.
The technical monitoring of NOx emissions from mobile drilling rigs and other maritime business is the maritime's responsibility.
Tax calculation is subject to the requirements provided in regulation on excise duties section 3-19-6.
The fee is calculated for a source-specific emission factor, there should be documentation from the operator that specifies the factors and the method of such determination. This documentation must be submitted for the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. If no objection is received from the OD, within 4 weeks from the documentation is received, the new factors be taken ibruk.
When the new factors to be taken into use should be informed in writing, TAD. Copy of this correspondence is to be sent and the Customs region.
At introduction of Predictive Emission Monitoring Systems (PEMS), applies the same principle. The operator informs the OD that the PEMS is introduced and that one wants to take the system in use for NOx-tax reporting from a scheduled date. Technical explanations of PEMS must medfølge. If no objections are received within 4 weeks, this is accepted as the basis for NOx-tax reporting. TAD, OD and customs region be informed accordingly as at the source-specific emission factor that the new method of calculation is current.
For flare gas is now a factor of 1.4 g/Sm ³ gas burned in use as the emission factor. The assessment work is in progress to get a better experience the basis for determining this factor.
For the various gas turbines and diesel engines in use can the stencil values are given in regulations on excise duties section 3-19-9, can be used.
The operator will be for the individual installation at any given time have an up to date list of equipment that is NOx-taxable and the factors or measurement methods that are in use to determine discharge.
To section 2 Definitions Definitions as follows of the parent regulations is not repeated in this regulation.
To § 3 Responsibility for this regulation It should be noted that this paragrafens the first paragraph involves a material obligation to conform forskriftens provisions and individual decisions given in pursuance of these regulations. The obligation to do this through the implementation of required systematic measures imposed by this Regulation section 5.
The duties that the licensees in the community have for the petroleum law and CO ₂-tax law, the operator of each individual facility have the direct responsibility for, as by design, procurement and operation of measuring systems and with the reporting and payment of the fee. This will therefore be forskriftens provisions addressed to the operator on behalf of the licensees.
To section 4 requirements of the petroleum industry in General in the comments to the individual paragraphs it is recommended the use of a number of industry standards or other normative documents, possibly with additional points as stated in the note, as a way to meet the forskriftens requirements. The recommended solution is through this referral a recognized norm. In areas where there is no industry standards, describes the regulations in some cases in the comment to the provision solutions that specifies ways to meet forskriftens requirements. Such recommendations will get the same status as the reference to industry standards as mentioned. According to § 4 rights holder can normally add to the reason that the recommended solution to meet the current regulatory requirement.
It is assumed that the regulations and notices be seen in context to get the best possible understanding of the level that will be achieved through regulation. Norms recommended in the comments will be central at the interpretation of the individual regulatory requirements.
Total measurement uncertainty as mentioned in section 8, this regulation will be crucial for the measurement methods that can be used.
The use of recognized norms as mentioned in the first paragraph is voluntary in the sense that it can be selected other technical solutions, methods, or practices.
The basis for the use of alternative methods can be, a) documentation that shows that the measurement uncertainty and the reliability is equal to or better than that of conventional equipment, b) by allocation where measurement disparity between the cost of conventional system compared to a simplified system (cf. Norsok in-105, Annex C).
Clarification regarding the measurement concept should occur at the treatment of the plan for development and operation of a petroleum occurrence (PDO) or plan for the construction and operation of facilities for transport or for the exploitation of petroleum (PAD) or by the processing of application for exemption for such a plan.
Approval of the PDO or PAD means that measuring the concept of associated risk level is approved. Any dispensation, jf. section 33, will only apply to the deviations from regulatory requirements that are not identified in the PDO or PAD.
Chapter II requirements for the management system etc.
The chapter deals with the requirements for management system within both the petroleum law and CO ₂-free the active areas. One has found it appropriate to fix common provisions for the two sites. It also appears to the petroleum law § 10-6 and petroleum regulation § 56, section 57 and section 58.
To section 5 management system a management system for the measurement should include: a) the uncertainty limits the total and for some components, b) lines of responsibility for the follow-up of the quality of the measurement system, c) areas of responsibility between different departments in your organization and the interfaces between them.

Chapter III General requirements for metering and measurement system to the section 8 Allowed measuring uncertainty Principles for risk analysis is given in ISO "Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement" (the Guide).
Manual for risk calculation, CMR/NFOGM/OD, 1999 includes both oil and gas measurement.
± is removed, from the tables, then it when one specifies the 95% level of confidence is enough to enter the numeric value.
When the reference (master) gauges used for the calibration of gauges in operation, should the master meters have significantly better (30%) linearity and repeatability than that specified as the maximum limits in table 2.
A total uncertainty better than the set measuring uncertainty for fuel gas Dazzle metering stations (1.5%) requires that the density is determined so that the total uncertainty comes within the fixed limit.
For a number of parameters is defined in relative measurement uncertainty to the measured value. The workspace for the donors must be adapted to the area it normally is measured in. At startup or shutdown of målerør, one for short periods be outside the workspace and limits for the measuring uncertainty.
In some special cases, the workspace for the press so that the donors requirements as specified for pressure measurement oil, gas; Press metering fuel, flare gas and differansetrykkmåling cannot be met. For information to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, as provided for in section 30, the equipment still could be used for the purpose.
When tubes normal calibration is carried out with liquids with low density, such as condensate and LPG, repeatable unit be slightly higher because of the. CTL temperatursensitivitet.
Requirements for ultrasonic fuel gas meter should be as specified in the NORSOK in-104, paragraph 6.2.2.4.

To § 12 keeping of gas and oil flow out of the measurement system when the oil is loaded to the tanker will resirkulasjonslinje for the oil measure the drive could be allowed.
For shipments of petroleum products in small loads, a need for resirkulasjonslinje at the gauging station. A prerequisite is that a system of ventilintegritet is used.
Any forbikoblingsrør be closed with blind flange or with a isolation valve with double block and avblødningsmulighet, so that the oil can not pass without being measured.
Chapter IV requirements for the execution of the measurement system to the section 13 Requirements to the measuring system in General Gauges that do not have their own calibration device (tube normal) should uttestes with liquid or gas by test conditions that are so similar the operating conditions as possible.
When the regulations mention duplicate instrument features it doesn't mean that the primary measures necessarily should be duplicated. For newer measure principles that ultrasound and coriolis, duplication/surveillance effect is achieved by different signal types.
About it in a measuring with ultrasound allocation drive solution is selected a solution with only one målerør, one should have opportunities to control measures during operation and to have the necessary reserve equipment ready for installation in the målerør.
For gas should flow rate measurement maximum by ultrasound measurement does not exceed 80% of the manufacturer's specified maximum flow rate.
One målerør where it is added to facilitate the maintenance, will fulfill the requirements for a forskriftens fuel gas measuring station.
For the maintenance of fuel gas measuring station with only one målerør it should be circulation.

To section 13a Flow gauges (for other liquids than water)
Measure regulation is by regulatory amendment 22. August 2006 no. 1014 changed because of Norway's implementation of the Directive 2004/22/EC on measuring instruments (MID), cf. The EEA Agreement-annex II, chap. IX if measuring instruments no. 27. For the measurement in the petroleum business, including measurement of land terminals, this includes only flow gauges (for other liquids than water). The requirements of these measuring instruments are modified in accordance with the directive and are harmonized with the regulations 21. December 2007 Nr. 1738. about the requirements for flow meters (for liquids other than water), established by the Ministry of trade and industry and Metrology. It will be shown and to regulation 20. December 2007 Nr. 1723 about measurement units and measurement. The said regulations sets out in Chapter 4 which requirements flow meters shall meet to be made available on the market and to be able to be used for the calculation of the financial statements. Procedure for conformity assessment noted by § 4-11 in this regulation. The modules that the procedures consists of, are described in annex 1 to the aforementioned regulations. The requirements of the annexes are to be regarded as minimum requirements, so that measuring instruments at least must meet these basic requirements. The licensee that uses and manufacturers, have full opportunity to add stricter requirements as to the reason.
The changes will not affect existing flow gauges in the petroleum business. It applies to both the technical requirements and requirements during use.
The directive is first and foremost aimed at manufacturers of measuring instruments, but have and importance for others that translates measuring instruments. Measuring instruments covered by the MID must meet the technical requirements of the directive before they are made available on the market. Before the completion of the market involves a control compliance rating by use of technical control body and compliance labeling that would show that the requirements of the directive are met. It follows from the instrument-specific annexes in MID which modules the individual measuring device to be approved for, here MI-005, jf. and section 4 of the regulations on the requirements to the flow meters (for liquids other than water). As the manufacturer of the measuring device after the directive is considered too the one who designs and manufactures a measuring device for your use.
For existing flow meter that has been applied or made available on the market before the effective time (October 30, 2006) comes to the requirements of these regulations before the measure that. The same will apply to the flow gauges that are sold in the European economic area before the effective time, and which can then be resold for use. It also applies to the transition rules for flow gauges that are type approved prior to the effective time, cf. section 8-1 in the regulation on the measurement units and measurement.
The changes provide the application where the measure has as a result the regulation the application of the agreement with a foreign State, cf. the Petroleum Law § 1-4 first paragraph last sentence.
The implementation of the MID directive for liquid measuring stations will in practice mean that the operator order a liquid measurement system with a provider/manufacturer. The operator shall be made before the order, and after dialogue with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, clarify about the issue of MID is relevant to the respective certificate liquid measurement station. If the certificate should be issued MID, it will be the manufacturer's task to use a recognized technical control body (TKO) in Norway or abroad to be issued a MID certificate.
It is liquid measurement stations that deliver to the ship or into the pipeline systems that are covered by the MID.
To section 14 Measuring the system's mechanical part execution of the measurement system for hydrocarbons in liquid phase Recognized norms is NORSOK in-105 and the American Petroleum Institute (API), Manual of Petroleum Measurement (MPMS) ch. 4 and ch. 5.

To section 15 Measure the system's instrument part Recognized norms is NORSOK in-104 and I-105.
The signals from the donors and should be transferred so that the transducers to measure the uncertainty is at least possible. The transfer should take place via the fewest number of signal converters. Signal cables and other parts of the measuring coils should be carried out and be fitted so that they are not affected by electromagnetic interference.
By the use of densitetsmålere by measuring the station's expiration, these should be installed a minimum of 8 D after upstream disturbance.
When oil loading to the tanker carried out, can be determined by density analysis of content in prøvekanne.
When petroleum products are measured, the density is calculated from the recognized norm.
Measurement of petroleum products may be needed to assess the simplifications in the instrumentation.
By gas density measurement can be determined by continuous gasskromatografi, if the decision can be made within the uncertainty requirements for densitetsmåling. If only a gas chromatograph is used, for example, the collation feature a densitometer is performed. This will ensure independent monitoring of densitetsverdi and that the density still is measured when the GC is out of service.
Measured density should be monitored.
To section 16 to measure the system's computer part Recognized norms NORSOK in-104 and I-105.
Computer section should not have other functions than those who are attached to the measuring system. Where multiple digital computers is used it should be defined where the various calculations are performed. To avoid error sources should the computer part that performs fiscal calculations, be linked to other computer equipment in such a way that errors are avoided.
For pulse transfer from flow meters should signal could be read as the number of pulses.
Quantities recorded during calibration should be registered separately, independent of the measured quantities.
Numbers for cumulative fiscal quantities, that this regulation includes, for the individual målerør and the measurement system a total of stored in electronic storage devices. The storage devices should be secured so that they cannot be reset or changed without a protection system followed.
By ultrasound measurement should computer part contain control functions for continuous monitoring of the quality of the measurements. Time measurement should be able to be verified.
By CO ₂ tax measurement can alarm function is transferred as a general alarm to the manned control room.
For fuel gas measurement by use of the flow meter, easier signal transfer than ISO-6551 Class to be considered.
To section 17 requirements for sampling Recognized norms is NORSOK in-104 and I-105, ISO-3171 (oil) and ISO-10715 (gas), NFOGM-Guide for water in oil measurement (2001).
For oil and gas sampling, it should be ensured that the equipment in direct contact with hydrocarbons are consumed not by the medium it takes samples from. The operating instructions should be mounted in the sampling.
Oil samples from the sample taker system should be analyzed in the laboratory according to. ISO-10337, Crude petroleum-Determination of water-Coulometric Karl Fischer titration method. Certified syringes of digital type should be used.
Homogenization of the sample to be analyzed, if necessary, should be documented.
Sampling enclosure for oil and condensate at pipeline transport should have a daily and a monthly prøvekanne. By tank boat loading is a prøvekanne sufficient. The equipment should be designed so that the samples can be transported to the laboratory for analysis. The filling of the prøvekanner should be monitored and the number of samples should be a minimum of 10,000 in the trial period.
Water in the oil can be determined at measurement stations fiscally allocation by using the continuous measurement.

If this is not the case, the equipment should be calibrated by a competent laboratory. With a competent laboratory is meant a laboratory that is accredited as mentioned in recognized norm a 45,000/ISO-17025, or otherwise have documented expertise and ensures traceability to international or national normals.
On the basis of the operator's work schedule to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate to which tasks will be witnessed.
For all tests of critical equipment components should be worked out in advance a test procedure where the requirements clearly stated. Test procedure should in addition have the references to the relevant regulations and standards.
To section 20 calibration of mechanical part the controls referred to, for example, will be surveying of critical mechanical parameters with traceable equipment.
Requirements for the calibration of flow meters and pipes normal cf. This Regulation section 8.
Hollow target normal used for the calibration of tubes normal should certified annually. The volume of the hollow target standard should be certified by gravimetrisk method with reference to the national norm of uncertainty better than ± 0.01%.
For small one-way pipes it should be verified that the normals 4 volumes are mutually consistent. The spread should not exceed 0.02% for k-factors or flow rates.
There should be a distinct difference between the 4 volumes.
For all pipe, it should be verified that the normals 4 volumes are consistent by volume calibration or remodeling activities. This is done by establishing k-factor for a meter and so shift the volume and repeat the calibration sequence.
Recommended calibration methods for pipe normal: a) "Master trying/master meter" method.
Before and after or at the same time with this calibration should "master meter" is checked against the "master" the brat with the same requirements for repeatability as mentioned in section 8. Calibration requirement is met if "master meters» calibration factor before and after calibration of the tubes normal, has a deviation that is less than 0.02%.
b) "Master tank/master meter" method.
Here comes the same calibration requirements that letter a c) water calibration method.
Three consecutive single calibrations are performed, where one of them has a flow rate that is different from the other two. Repeatability is as for the methods in the letter a and b. Provision with volumetric reference will be acceptable at the factory testing (FAT), about the provision with the gravimetrisk reference is carried out before the start site.
By calibration as in point a) and b) should 5 consecutive single calibrations in each measure is carried out.
Flow gauge linearity and repeatability should be tested in the highest and lowest part of the workspace, and in three points the limits natural divided between.

The dealer can be omitted and replaced with the signal generator. Barrierenes the influence on the measuring signal should be mapped.
Verification of turbine målernes pulse transmission system should be carried out. Recognized norm is ISO-6551. Reading of the pulses should be made on the computer section and on external counter. It should be simulated 100,000 pulses and by deviation of two pulses should simulated pulse number of doubles.
At the start-up of new measurement systems can remain on the instruments the inventory beyond the time that is recommended for the calibration. In this case the calibration is performed by a competent laboratory before the instruments be taken into use.
By calibration of the turbine meters with low k-factor and/or by the use of compact tubes normal it may be appropriate that each calibration consists of several repetitions, to increase the volume and the number of calibration pulses from turbine meter.
To § 22 verification of computer part Alarm handling and reporting should be verified with manually posted measurements for each målerør and the whole measuring system. The system should be verified for the voltage error and data line transmission errors.
Verification of the pulse alarm for turbine measures should be carried out and the alarm activated in the event of discrepancies between the two pulse trains.
The verification of the electronic equipment's performance should be carried out and be in accordance with the climatic and mechanical environment measuring equipment will be exposed.
To chapter VI requirements for the measurement system in use to section 23 Maintenance through the use of the e-mail operation based maintenance systems must follow up of the fiscal parameters and scheduled maintenance occur on a systematic and controlled manner.
To ensure continuous quality in the polls it must at all times be relevant professionals available for interpretation, analysis and eventual correction of error conditions encountered.
When two instruments performs the same type of measurement of the same quality, then one of the meters is identified as in operation and the other will have a monitoring/reserve function. Switch between the two instruments should only happen when the measures in operation fails.
To section 24 operating requirements for pipe normal calibration of tubes normal is featured in the note to section 20. If the tubes normal volume differs more than ± 0.04% from the volume at the previous calibration, troubleshooting should be made to uncover the cause of the anomaly.
Lower the calibration frequency can be used for pipe normals, based on a technical assessment of the stability of previous calibrations (better than ± 0.02% of the average volume for 3 consecutive), considered in a cost benefit perspective.
Existing tubes normal calibration interval on the basis of the assessment in section above increased to double the existing interval. When you've got experience from this calibration frequency can new assessment be done.
If the assessment of the calibration result from multiple pipe normals shows systematic deviation, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate should be consulted regarding questions about the calibration result should be implemented.
For measuring systems used for fluids with low density, such as condensate and LPG, can limit the values that are given in this notice, cf. Note to section 8.
To § 25 operating requirements for flow meters Recognized norm for the monitoring of turbine meter k-factors is the API MPMS ch. 13.
For flare gas meters should zero point control are made regularly with an external device. Other types of controls can it depends on the product of the measures be relevant to carry out in order to verify the quality of the measures.
Tilstandsbaserte audit packages for multiple beam ultrasonic gauges "Condition Based Monitoring (CBM)" should be used. Examples of parameters that can be included in a health monitoring system:-the first health check (foot print), recorded at the flow laboratory-Signal to noise ratio (SNR)-Signal quality (Gain and Burst)-Flow profile monitoring (flatness, symmetry, turbulence and swirl) sound speed (VOS)-various forms of densitetssammenlikning-Speed of each audio path.
Monitoring systems will vary slightly between the different vendors.
The deviation limits for the different parameters is determined before startup, or as soon as possible then.
Recalibration should be performed if the meter has a poor maintenance history.
For shipments of petroleum products in small loads will it could be appropriate to use the K-factor that is established under the recycling.
For requirements for repeatability and linearity of the calibration of the flow meter will be shown it to this Regulation section 8.
Control and cleaning of the measuring tube, if necessary, should be made by the dismantling of the measure the duct sections.
Operating requirements for turbine measures differ from the design requirements given in section 8 and is specified in section 25.
To § 26 operating requirements for instrument part using the monitoring features can be used condition based maintenance to extension of the calibration intervals.
Instruments used for calibration should be kept separate from other instruments.
The interval between the calibrations can be increased if the documented stability for measuring equipment.
By condition based maintenance should a number of donors for each parameter on the gauging station be calibrated at least once a year to ensure traceability. A comparison of these to the corresponding donors on measurement stations should be carried out to ensure traceability.
By preparation of control limits for the individual component by online gasskromatografer (benchmark test), one should start with the parent GC risk requirements, and divide on the square root of the number of components. Deviation of the individual component and for the combined values should always be checked against the normalized values to reduce the weather impact on the numbers. Deviation for each component should not involve more than 0.1% deviation in the calorific or standard density.
Transition to benchmark principle for GC, for facilities that operated with regular calibration and correction should be carried out as soon as it is convenient is appropriate. For example, in connection with the upgrading of equipment.
Recognized norm to the insecurity of traceable reference gases are given in NORSOK in-104.
To § 27 operating requirements for the computer part alarms from the measurement system should be reviewed after the startup, to systematically reduce the number of and get an appropriate data interface with large control room equipment.
The calculation requirements should be verified using an independent system (PC).

Documentation as mentioned in this paragraph the first paragraph will cycle be specifications, calculations and drawings pertaining to the measurement system, as well as operating procedures and other relevant documentation.
The general rule in the Petroleum Act section 10-4 of the material and information means that the documentation pertaining to fiscal measurement as referred to in this Regulation shall be available in Norway no matter how operating organization is located. This does not imply anything forbidden to save the documentation out of the country, as long as it can be made available to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate within a reasonable time. In some cases, eg. under the supervision of the measuring stations that are located abroad, it will be most convenient that the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate given access to documentation on the spot. By operating organizations located outside Norway documentation should be available on the usage location and available for the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate upon request.
If any of the equipment components within their area driver variation and this detected by routine calibration, this is not the basis for the correction.
The correction should not be implemented, however, about the cost of corrective work exceeds the value of the amount of the measured error to be corrected for.
The standard form for the reporting of CO ₂-fee is given as annex 1 and 2 to this regulation.
The operator can, if appropriate, to report diesel consumption to the NPD by the same principle as the corresponding report to the Environment Agency according to the climate quota regulations note to § 30 Information Download the replacement procedures should be designed so that when the oil is sold in tanker loads from the buoy to the Mediterranean, should corrective limit be the internationally accepted for oil trading, 0.5%. Correction should only be carried out if both the ship's number in the unload port and terminal number differs from the measure the drive numbers with 0.5% or more. it should Further be proven wrong by the official measuring equipment, can be performed before the corrections. 0.3% has often been used for ship loads from the petroleum in the Norwegian part of the continental shelf.
