Sometimes there will be meters at a location with a pipeline installed to it. The oil is then pumped through the meter then measured. It becomes custody of the purchaser at that point, and is now sold.


In other cases an oil truck will arrive on location and measure a quantity of oil in a tank, then hook his truck up to it and pump it in to his tank. When he is done, he will re measure the oil in the tank and calculated the volume he pumped on and leave a "run ticket"He then transports his load to their nearest off loading station to put un a large stock tank to sell down a major pipe line.
