Accurate metering of unseparated well streams is of vital importance in satellite field development projects, but the technique also provides significant benefits in standard platform-based production technology. Applications for multiphase flow metering include well monitoring, reservoir management, production allocation and process control. Fluenta's multiphase flow meters offer users important advantages in terms of cost, weight and space savings, rapid response, lack of calibration and maintenance requirements, and their ability to measure a wide range of flow conditions. A venturi is employed to extend the operating range into single-phase gas or liquid flows. The MPFM 900 combines the mixed flow rate measurements made by a venturi meter with fraction measurements to obtain the individual component flow rates.
SR is a subsea non-intrusive multiphase flow meter.
