Abstract: This paper describes a method for remotely detecting impurity in the liquid phase from a subsea producing reservoir in the Gulf of Mexico using multiphase flow metering data. The data was studied, and the outcome of the analysis was a modification of the meter fluid attributes. The new configuration parameters were successfully implemented as an update to the subsea meter. Later experimental analysis of the water phase confirmed the presence of frac fluid and almost identical fluid properties as remotely predicted via multiphase flow metering data. The technique described here demonstrates novelty in accurate characterization of frac fluid-containing liquid phase that can be performed remotely with a robust troubleshooting method for multiphase flow meters. This is specifically of interest for subsea production where minimal intervention is desired due to costly installation access.
