Abstract: Suncor and Schlumberger have been working over several years to establish the performance of multiphase flow meters and determine the accuracy and reliability of flowtesting equipment for thermal heavy oil production, the first test was carried out in 2007. The test marked the first successful application of multiphase flow metering in Canadian thermal recovery operations. The initial introduction leads to selection of a well for its dynamic conditions and production history factors such as flowrate, line pressure, line temperature, and fluid properties and allowed the connection of the MPFM (the Vx) in series with an existing test separator. The multiphase initial objectives were to measure the wells oil, water, steam, and gas flowrates, understand the wells SAGD dynamics, and the impact of changes in ESP frequency to experience different production conditions, including line pressure, flowrates, phase fractions and ratios, i.e., Water/Liquid Ratio (WLR). Finally, to study the Vxs sensitivity and performance against a valid reference by defining the results for stability, dynamic response, repeatability and reproducibility. This leads to several papers presented in different conferences (Ref 1-3, and in the meantime to work closer to define what should be the optimal test of a cluster to have a full understanding of the technology and the potential for permanent installation.
