Abstract: An automated and compact multiphase flow meter (MPFM) tested offshore Saudi Arabia has accurately measured three-phase flow rates under existing field operating flow conditions. An extensive eight-month field test in the Safaniya field was conducted from October 1999 to June 2000 utilizing over 350 well tests under varying operating conditions. A meter was installed on an offshore test barge, so that individual wells could be tested in series with traditional test barge methods. For these trial tests, the total liquid rate ranged from 1300 to 12000 barrels per day, the GOR ranged from 150 to 350 SCF/STB and the water cut ranged from 0 to 50%. The results indicate that over 90% of the wells tested were within +/- 10% of test barge results for both liquid and oil, and water cut (absolute) measurements. While gas measurements were determined to be within +/- 15% in 75% of the wells tested.
