What is the purpose of 'Allocation' in a hydrocarbon extraction project?
To make sure that the amount of hydrocarbons exiting the facility network is exactly the same as the amount produced from the well(s)
To minimize loss of hydrocarbons produced by eliminating the error of measurement at the well level using the accurate data obtained at the export/outgoing stream.
