This paper describes the final detailed design, engineering, and installation phase of a Joint Industry Programme to qualify a robust subsea multiphase flowmeter module for long-terminstallation on a North Sea manifold tie-in. Multiphase subsea production has become a common method of hydrocardon recovery in all areas of offshore E and P. In the North Sea, many developments are subsea satellites with multiphase well-fluids being commingled prior to processing. The system described meets this challenge by offering a cost effective solution to real-time well monitoring asan alternative to the conventional test separator, removing the need for test lines and shutting in wells for testing. The multiphase instrument allows on-line ell fluid analysis, and is also an important tool forreservoir management and field analysis, and provides a means of implementing field allocationmetering thereby simplifying small/marginal field developments. This project is one of the first subsea multiphase flowmeter installations engineered for long-term subsea service, and designed as an integratedcomponent of the subsea production control system. Introduction The long term objective of this development is to demonstrate the effectiveness of subsea multiphase measurement. Amerada Hess United (AHL) is committed to the develoment of new technology to support and enhance its business activities of locating, developing and producing offshore hydrocarbon resources. To this end AHL have launched a Business Driven New Technology Initiative which seeks to identify key technology requirements, to initiate R&D projects, to fulfill them, and to ensure that the results are commercially exploited. Amongst the spearhead areas are health and safety, the environment, drilling costs, mini-field developments, reservoir characterization and performance, and geological basin modeling. This project is to run concurrently with the South Scott Development, which includes a production control system for installation in May 1995. The subsea multiphase flowmeter will be installed on the South Scott manifold, and will provide on-line well fluid analysis for up to four producing wells. The financing for this project has been led by Amerada Hess Norge, with Amerada Hess (UK) Ltd contributing project co-ordination and monitoring. Further project funding has been made by Kvaerner FSSL Ltd. This joint industry approach has been made to establish a commercially viable solution to real-time multiphase metering based on a leading instrument technology, the Ruenta MPFM1900. The project has been conducted in three phases. Phase 1 was completed in 1992. ref 1. This involved the purchase and testing of a basic fraction meter version of the device. The meter was installed and tested in the new independent 3-phase laboratory at the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL) in East Kilbride, near Glasgow. The aims of Phase 1 were to prove the integrity of the technology, and determine by experimentation the application limitations of the instrument. This was successfully completed. A great deal of time and effort was invested at this stage into modeling real flow conditions on the test skid. The NEL team and the industrial collaborators are extremely satisfied with the results so obtained.

This chapter foregrounds the Lab-On-Line project, a technological innovation developed to enhance visual processing skills, improve memory and vocabulary, and increase reading fluency with the explicit aim of improving comprehension. Thirty (30) 3rd year students at one of the University of Namibia campuses participated in the pilot study. A pre-test was conducted for placement purpose. Subsequently, the selected sample commenced with the Lab-On-Line program that consists of 20 lessons that were carried out twice a week over a period of five months. Thereafter a Standardized Reading Evaluation was performed to determine their language proficiency, reading speed per minute and comprehension ability. Results show that the majority of participating students had improved their perceptual development and reading speed (VPF), cognitive development and comprehension skills (CDF), and relative reading efficiency (AIUF).

AbstractIn May 1995 a multiphase flow meter (MPFM) was installed in a subsea production manifold on the UK South Scott Field operated by Amerada Hess Limited. This achievement was the culmination of a three year collaborative development programme, the objective of which was to develop and prove a prototype MPFM for a commercial subsea application.The incorporation of the MPFM in the South Scott production facilities had two main benefits. It reduced the complexity of the infrastructure required to develop the field by eliminating the need for a dedicated test pipeline and riser system, and significantly reduced the project capital expenditure. Additionally the application provided the opportunity to deliver benefits to the production and reservoir engineering community by allowing real time monitoring of well tests.Despite the comprehensive testing undertaken during the development programme, the South Scott MPFM experienced an electronic component failure early in its operational service life, which resulted in the recovery of the meter and a subsequent failure investigation. This process uncovered a more complex problem associated with one of the sensor units, which required the development of a new technology for a solution. Through the sustained efforts and commitment of the venture partners, the initial setbacks have been overcome and the meter is planned to be operational on the South Scott field in February 1997.

This chapter foregrounds an online gamified visual intelligence innovation (eyebraingym) developed to enhance visual processing skills, improve memory and vocabulary, and increase reading fluency. The explicit aim of the innovation is to improve comprehension towards visual intelligence. Ninety-eight Grade 8 learners at a South African Boy's School completed their online development during the 2021 academic year. These learners were part of a group of students participating in a whole school reading and literacy intervention program. The innovation is an integral part of this ongoing project. Their interaction with the innovation consists of 15 sessions completed once or twice a week for 20 – 40 minutes over five months. The results of the project are positive. It shows that most participating students improved their perceptual development and reading speed (VPF) and cognitive development and comprehension skills (CDF). In addition, these outcomes transferred to improved relative efficiency when working with information (AIUF).
