Abstract: As early as 1999 when Gulf of Mexico Deepwater projects passed the one-mile water-depth mark, the importance of good flow measurement on the deep sea floor was apparent. In contrast to the comparatively simple exploration and production operations carried out on the continental shelf, similar work in deepwater is exponentially more challenging. A good example of this is the recently started Perdido development in the Alaminos Canyon region of the GoM, about 350 kilometers south of the city of Galveston, Texas near the boundary with Mexican waters. Shell operates the Perdido Regional Development (35%) on behalf of partners Chevron (37.5%) and BP (27.5%). As illustrated in the Figure 1 below and described in Reference 1, there are currently three fields in development, all being produced back to a common set of production facilities on the Perdido Regional Spar. Wells in the Great White, Silvertip, and Tobago developments are in water depths ranging from 2360 to 2940 meters.
