Abstract: The Penguin cluster is a formation of five different reservoirs located in the UK sector of the North Sea. It is produced via a 65km subsea tie-back to the Brent Charlie platform the worlds third longest tie-back. The cluster is made up of five different reservoirs, each with significantly different gas to oil ratios. The gas volume fraction (GVF) of the arriving fluids is in the region of 85 to 95% and thus was considered to be too high for accurate (5%) measurement of the gas and oil phases using a multiphase meter (MPM) and too low for a wet gas meter. Due to the length of the tie-back a Severe Slug Suppression Device (S3) was installed on the platform topsides. The S3 in effect acts as a partial separator and thus the opportunity was taken to use this device to partially separate the fluids and hence move the MPM in to a more favourable operating environment.
