Abstract: The multiphase metering business is shifting over t he last years from conventional 3- Phase metering (only Water, Oil, and Gas measuremen t) to complex combination of 4 phases and there is already a recurrent demand for monitoring the salinity change or salt production. Beyond the exercise of measuring t he salt, flow assurance and reservoir management are addressed through this type of analy sis and specifically in high GVF. One of the most complex conditions to operate a mul tiphase flow meter is with large amount of free salt production. In North Africa, fe w oil fields have very high salinity content of 240,000 to 290,000 mg/liter. To reduce s alt deposition, the water injection is done in the reservoir (at the completions tubing le vel) to reduce water salinity, dilution water strings are also installed in the wells to fu rther lower salinity and allow the wells to produce. In such a challenging production operatio n environment, the measurement of the 4 phases: Salt, Oil, Water, and Gas are a benef it for optimization.
