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

basic sediment and water - Overview

• 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.

  Key Concepts: 
  Basic Sediment and Water (BS&W) is a term used in the oil and gas industry to refer to the amount of sediment and water that is present in a sample of crude oil. It is expressed as a percentage of the total volume of the sample. The IS-OIL-UOM-MD UOM Master Data component in SAP is used to store and manage the unit of measure (UOM) data related to BS&W. 
  How to Use It: 
  The IS-OIL-UOM-MD UOM Master Data component in SAP can be used to store and manage the UOM data related to BS&W. This includes the unit of measure, conversion factors, and other related information. The data can then be used for various calculations, such as calculating the volume of a sample based on its BS&W content. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering data into the IS-OIL-UOM-MD UOM Master Data component, it is important to ensure that all data is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that any calculations based on the data are accurate. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all units of measure are consistent throughout the system.
