In order to assure safety at maritime oil & gas production facilities, part of the produced gas is continually burned (flared), depending upon specific operating conditions. These conditions include emergency shutdown and gas inventory relief due to process fluctuations. In such environments, gas flaring occurs at very large flow rate range, reducing the number of available technological choices for flow rate measurement. Transit-time ultrasonic flow measurement has been commonly used for this task, although with relatively high uncertainties due to technology limitations. Because of that, various oil & gas regulator authorities around the world impose different rules for flare measurement uncertainty. In Brazil, the regulation establishes a maximum percentage of 5 percent for flare measurement uncertainty, but it is not specific about the target (flow rate or volume). This dissertation presents a study on the effects of flow rate uncertainty on hourly, daily and monthly produced volume uncertainty in the maritime environment for a 16-month period, evaluating the impact of flare flow rate measurement on volume uncertainty. Aspects of gas transit-time ultrasonic flow rate measurement and volume computation over resulting volumes are evaluated. The conclusion is that flow rate measurement and its associated uncertainty have little effect on computed volume uncertainties.
