Custody Transfer Measurement: A specialized form of measurement that provides quantity and quality information used for the physical and fiscal documentation of a change in ownership and/or responsibility of commodities. The following measurements are custody transfer measurements: Measurement of hydrocarbon liquid or gas movements (deliveries or receipts) between Saudi Aramco and its customers, suppliers, or transport contractors. Measurement of hydrocarbon liquid or gas transfers between Saudi Aramco refineries, fractionation plants, bulk plants, terminals, pipelines, VELA ships, etc. where the measurement is used for accounting or loss control.
