Multiphase
Achieve flexibility and accurate flow rate measurements in the most challenging fields
High quality measurement of multiphase flow, without the need for separation is required in an ever growing variety of applications and field conditions worldwide.
When selecting a multiphase flow meter from Emerson, you can be assured of robust and reliable measurement performance in any multiphase flow application. With over 30 years of field experience and a global presence, you can be confident of both the measurement instrument and the support you need, from a supplier you know and trust.
The Multiphase and Wetgas meters apply a combination of electrical impedance measurements with cross correlation for velocity measurements. Depending on the application and measurement needs, the system can be extended with Venturi measurements, a gamma density system, a sand monitoring system, salinity measurements and a Wetgas operating mode.
Operators that use multiphase meters to monitor their wells will obtain real-time and continuous well flow information. This will allow for early detection of water/gas breakthrough and improved well control. Knowledge of the individual phase flow rates of a producing well are required to facilitate reservoir management, field development, operational control, flow assurance and production allocation.
The cost of separators can vary considerable depending on the sophistication of the solution, philosophy, geographical location, application and use. Multiphase meters potentially allow for significant CAPEX and OPEX savings in many examples compared to traditional solutions. By using a multiphase meter, there is often no need for the test separator, test manifold and test line. Each well can be monitored continuously without having to redirect them through a test line or use a mobile well test separator.
Maximizing reservoir performance relies on having the right skills in the work force.
