Accurate oil, water and gas flow rate measurements from individual wells are essential in order to properly manage both the wells and reservoirs, as well as to obtain reliable data for production performance monitoring, optimization, allocation and simulation models 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . Over the past three decades, there has been great advancement in the multiphase metering technology. These advancements have resulted in a significant improvement in measurement accuracy as well as in reducing the physical size of these meters which is a crucial element in limited-space environments as in offshore platforms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
