... ABSTRACT The multiphase meters are used both topside and subsea to measure the flowing conditions; pressure, temperature, volume flow rates of oil, gas and water. This real-time information is useful to several disciplines such as reservoir monitoring, production optimization, allocation...

... methods, coupled with the latest software engineering techniques, now allow the rigorous calculation of multiphase thermal-hydraulic behaviour in an integrated asset model (IAM) on timescales acceptable for concept selection. The paper describes the application of a new IAM tool to analyse options...

...Multiphase Metering Theory and Available Technologies Abstract Accurate well testing is required for making intelligent decisions on oil and gas production wells. This paper reports on an effort to assess the application of multiphase metering technology to high water-cut (75+% water...

.... Abstract The application of Multiphase Meters (MPM) over the past decade or so has, in the main, been in deployment of meters in small quantities (i.e. ones and twos) and there are few applications where MPM's have been deployed in bulk. Petrozuata in Venezuela is such an operation where 37 MPM's were...

... Abstract Multiphase metering technology continues to evolve, with significant implications for the oil and gas industry. Current technology is sufficiently capable for some oilfield applications and requires further development for others, particularly low-maintenance measurement of high GVF...

Results presented will allow operators to better design optimal fracture lengths for typical gas reservoirs. hydraulic fracturing cleanup fracture conductivity pressure transient testing multiphase pressure...

... ABSTRACT During the past years, the Oil and Gas industry has invested a lot of resources in the development of the multiphase technology (flow modelling, multiphase production equipment, fluid-related effects). The POSEIDON programme aimed at developing multiphase pumping based...

... Abstract This paper presents a methodology to simulate the equilibrium oil, water and gas flow rates of a well boosted by a twin-screw multiphase pump. Based on this methodology, the operational condition of the subsea multiphase pumping system to be installed in the Marlim field at Campos...

... Abstract An automated and compact multiphase flow meter (MPFM) tested offshore Saudi Arabia has accurately measured three - phase flow rates under existing field operating flow conditions. An extensive eight-month field test in the Safaniya field was conducted from October 1999 to June 2000...

... Abstract The Pressure-Pulse multiphase metering method is described. The combined effects of water-hammer and speed of sound in gas-liquid mixtures are used to measure the mass flow rate. Through continuity the mass flow rate at the wellhead is the same as the mass flow rate downhole...

... Abstract Significant progress has been made to the development of multiphase flowmeters over the last few years, and a number of manufacturers now have prototypes in the final laboratory and field testing stage. However, most of these meters are flow regime dependent and very costly...

... Abstract Research in multiphase measurement has been accelerating over the last few years. The reasons for this interest level are primarily economic in nature. It has been estimated that more than 50% of the world’s proven reserves of oil and gas are located in water depths greater than 1000...

... Abstract A prototype Cl 1500 positive displacement multiphase metering system has been tested at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. The trial, conducted during 1992-93, extends previous test experience, covering pressures of 200 to 2300 psig and gas void fractions of 62% to 95% These represent the most...

... ABSTRACT This work considers the influence of multiphase flow (oil and gas) in well testing analysis of non-flowing wells: For example, Drill Stem Test (DST) and Slug Test. The problem is solved by a two-dimensional (r-z), variable bubble-point, black oil simulator that incorporates the typical...
