Understanding LACT Units

The Essence of LACT Units

LACT, or Lease Automatic Custody Transfer, stands as a pivotal component within custody transfer (ownership transfer) systems for crude oil and petroleum products. It plays a pivotal role in facilitating the seamless transition of these valuable commodities from production facilities to various transport mediums, including trucks, railcars, pipelines, or storage tanks.

The Core Functionality

At its core, a LACT unit is tasked with the efficient transfer of produced oil into pipelines. Equipped with a sophisticated BS&W (base sediment and water) monitor, the LACT unit analyses oil content. If it meets preset quality standards, the oil is measured and seamlessly transferred into the pipeline. LACT units can be configured for either fully automated or semi-automated operation, ensuring uninterrupted service around the clock.
