New Frontier Technologies (NFT) has identified common operational problems in the Upstream, Midstream and Downstream sectors of the Oil & Gas industry and has created standard, repeatable and dependable Packaged Applications to address them. NFT's Smart LACT addresses the most critical needs of Crude Oil producers and gatherers by reducing costs associated with maintaining crude oil Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) facilities while also improving the reliability of data generated at custody transfer sites.

Industry Overview

A Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) facility is used to reduce measurement uncertainty when crude oil is transferred from a producer to a buyer, a process that is automated with no need for oversight. (source: Flow Control Network)

Customer Challenges

Crude Oil producers have a vested interest in tracking the movement of their product to a buyer. A LACT’s main purpose is to accurately measure the quantity and quality of the crude oil that passes through it. One of the key challenges that producers have when using a traditional LACT is measurement accuracy and consistency during the custody transfer of their crude oil. A crude oil producer wants to ensure they get paid for what they produced.

NFT Solution

New Frontier Technologies Smart LACT Packaged Application solves this problem by automating the measurement and record-keeping associated with product loading and/or unloading. A single Smart LACT automated skid can support multiple leases because it integrates a driver terminal. This saves facility owners tens of thousands of dollars in up-front costs.

Smart LACT Details

The NFT Smart LACT Packaged Application is flexible and extensible. It’s designed to operate as either a stand-alone unit, or be integrated as part of a much larger measurement system. Facility owners can add, modify or delete driver and product information in real-time by using either the local driver terminal or remotely through a SCADA system. The Smart LACT controls pumps, valves, safety systems and sampling systems. It also monitors tank levels with overfill protection, meter flow rate, temperature, pressure, API gravity and BS&W contamination.
