Overview
Every transaction in oil and gas custody transfer hinges on one critical factor: precise measurement. Even small inaccuracies in measurement can add up to significant financial losses, regulatory risks, and operational inefficiencies. That’s why precise custody transfer measurement is more than a technical requirement, it’s a business necessity.
Whether you aspire to enter the industry or currently work in measurement, compliance, or operations, particularly in roles that involve metering, measurement, and regulatory compliance, this course will give you the practical skills to protect both revenue and compliance.
With expert-led instruction and practical insights, you’ll develop a comprehensive understanding of custody transfer measurement systems, covering essential topics like meter verification and calibration, regulatory compliance, and system design. By exploring real-world applications and industry best practices, you'll gain the skills to track the volume and quality of transferred oil, protecting your organization from costly financial and compliance errors.
This course is ideal if you:
- work in measurement, compliance, or operations and want a stronger grasp of the custody transfer processes

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
