| Determination of Multiphase Flow Meter Reliability and Development of Correction Charts for the Prediction of Oilfield Fluid Flow Rates (2008) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| The aim of field testing of Multiphase Flow Meter (MPFM) is to show whether its accuracy compares favourably with that of the Test Separator in accurately measuring the three production phases (oil, gas and water) as well as determining meter reliability in field environment. This study evaluates field test results of the MPFM as compared to reference conventional test separators. Generally, results show that MPFM compares favourably with Test Separator within the specified range of accuracy.At the moment, there is no legislation for meter proving technique for MPFM. However, this study has developed calibration charts that can be used to correct and improve meter accuracy. | |||||||||
