DAY 4 – 24 JANUARY 2019

PROJECT EXERCISE & TEST

In this practical project exercise & test, participants will be tested on their
understanding of what have been taught in the course of the 4 days and if they
are able to understand how they can effectively manage custody transfer systems
and conduct flow metering and analysis.

Participants will be given the chance to apply the principles they learnt into the
development of an actual custody transfer and flow metering plan. At the end of
the session, the masterclass trainer will give his pointers and an accurate
assessment for each and every participant, as well as where/what they can
improve on.
