" He Alaidana that "the first quarter of next year 2014 will see the completion of the project processing and paneled freely floating metering will be dedicated to platforms export floating," adding that "way Aldhirah albeit primitive, but it represents a way to measure global popular and adopted by many of the oil-producing countries, including Arab states." referred to that system (Aldhirah) is a method primitive used in calculating the amount of oil exported using tankers, where it is put measuring tapes in the basin after oil-filled tanker, and then quantitative estimate in the light of a simple calculation.
