Improved Measurement Accuracy for Challenging Fluids
To address the limitations of conventional volume-based methods when measuring heavy oil and foamy crude, the meter features a dual-separation weighing system. The design incorporates alternating double tanks for continuous measurement and a compact, skid-mounted structure suitable for both mobile and fixed installations. The entire process is fully automated via computer control, and the device can be integrated with RTUs and other systems for remote data transmission and monitoring.
Flexible, Efficient, and Cost-Effective Operation
Unlike traditional methods, this multiphase flow meter does not require complete phase separation of oil, gas, and water. Its modular, skid-mounted design ensures easy on-site installation with minimal space requirements. The device supports a wide measurement range, making it suitable for individual well measurement as well as overall field evaluation. Real-time and continuous monitoring is possible through networked remote communication, enabling unattended operation. The system delivers reliable automation and accurate measurements while maintaining low initial investment and maintenance costs, offering significant economic benefits, particularly for offshore platforms, desert oilfields, remote wells, and well testing operations.
This system combines dual separation chambers with a weight based measurement method and an integrated high efficiency cyclone separator. Together, these components provide a wide measurement range, precise flow readings, and consistent performance under varying field conditions.
The device delivers accurate and stable measurement for complex well fluids, has successfully completed prototype testing and performance appraisal by professional metrology authorities, received certification from the relevant Venezuelan regulatory body, and has earned high recognition from clients operating in similar conditions.
This solution uses dual splitter, weight measurement method and built-in high efficiency cyclone separating device to engage the meter has the characteristic of wide adaption of measurement range, high accuracy, wide range, operation stability.
