Roxar Rapid Adaptive Measurement™
Embedded Software for the Roxar™ 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter provides trustworthy real-time adaptive measurement in dynamic multiphase flow
Rapid Adaptive Measurement is the embedded software for the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter. The software utilises automated module selection at 10 Hz calculation speed, supporting automation in the field and ensuring optimised measurements at any given moment. With this innovative approach, operators can be confident of enhanced meter performance, increased robustness and confidence, while enabling cost efficient, streamlined operations.
The embedded software has a modular architecture, with each module optimised for a specific flow condition. There is parallel computation of all modules, and self-calculated confidence for each module. Automated arbitrators then select the most appropriate module to be applied at any given moment. These calculations are applied to the measurement outputs at a speed of 10 Hz. This advanced innovation supports operator confidence and automation goals in the oil and gas industry.
The Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter has Rapid Adaptive Measurement core software as standard. This comprehensive, innovative software includes seamless 0-100% GVF measurement or "One Mode", parallel computation, embedded PVT engine, basic alarms and diagnostics and adaptive density measurement. Significant automation is included, reducing hands-on requirements, offering the operator efficient metering, while also providing confidence and robust, reliable measurement.
This optional, value-adding feature expands on the embedded PVT feature included within the core software package, in two ways. If using gas lift as an assisted recover method, this feature offers operators the ability to quickly and efficiently re-combine the hydrocarbon composition, based on the ratio between produced gas and lift gas. In addition, two additional flashing stages are offered to allow operators to easily compare results to test and bulk separator results, for example.
There are two aspects to this optional, value-adding feature; advanced alarms, and layer compensation. The alarms included provide in-situ verification of the flow, the sensors and the calculations, offering hightened confidence to the operator. The layer compensation functionality first detects the presence of a layer within the meter, then compensates for the effect of the layer, ensuring robust measurement even in the most challenging conditions.
The Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter is offered with a modular design, meaning operators can select the modules appropriate to meet their measurement needs and metering philosophy. The meter is available with and without the gamma density measurement system, giving the operators the flexibility they need. Full range non-gamma capabilities are available, suitable for wide range of flow conditions and applications.
The Roxar 2600 MPFM Performance Monitoring service is fully compatible with Roxar Rapid Adaptive Measurement. This provides efficient remote support and analysis of MPFM data, ensuring optimum meter performance. The Emerson experts also provide the operator with confidence that they are taking advantage of the insights the multiphase flow meter data provides, and that early, proactive notification is provided, should any actions be required.
