Abstract: 70% of the oil in place around the world is classified as Heavy Oil ( 22.3 API). Heavy Oil has one common characteristic that is to be viscous and very challenging to produce. It is therefore essential to have the adequate equipment to first monitor and then be able to optimize the production. The gravity contrast being smaller between oil and water any system based on separation is then strongly challenged in this environment. Most of the time the fluid is going through pipe restriction (valves, elbows) and often stable emulsion is created. On the other hand, the operation of in-line multiphase flow meter (without any separation) can sidestep most of these issues, as no separation is required and therefore have the benefit of being compact, with lower CAPEX and OPEX.
