What is basic sediment and water in SAP IS-OIL-UOM-MD - UOM Master Data?

SAP Term: basic sediment and water

• Component: IS-OIL-UOM-MD

• Component Name: UOM Master Data

• Description: A technical specification of certain impurities in crude oil. When extracted from an oil reservoir, the crude oil contains an amount of saltwater and particulate matter from the reservoir formation. The particulate matter is also known as sediment or mud. The water content can vary greatly from field to field, and may be present in large quantities if oil extraction is enhanced using water injection technology. The bulk of the water and sediment is usually separated at the field to minimize the quantity that needs to be transported further. The residual content of unwanted these impurities is measured as BS&W.
