Reliable gas well tests provide valuable data for production optimization and maximizing ultimate recovery of gas reserves. Poor data quality, heightened process safety risks and elevated OPEX are inherent limitations in the methods undertaken by operators to measure Condensate Gas Ratio (CGR) during Multi-Rate Tests (MRT) and routine production. This paper describes the steps undertaken by the team in BERA to overcome this challenge by utilizing the density-measuring capability of the Coriolis meter. A density-based algorithm was setup using a designed decantation procedure and encoded in the control system for real-time measurements and made available in the office domain. This technique provides improved data quality, ease of well surveillance and a long-term cost avoiding option while simultaneously increasing the flexibility and ease of executing MRTs. It eliminates the need for manual sampling with its associated process safety concerns.
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.
