French translation:Production et comptage automatique (PCA)
Explanation:
As you probably know already, LACT stands for Lease Automatic/Automated Custody Transfer. I would definitely translate the acronym. Termium gives "Production et comptage Automatique" (see ref. 1), which is sometimes abbreviated as PCA (see ref. 2 p. 9)
