Abstract: This paper describes one of the first major roll-outs of multiphase meters in the Middle East area. The project started in 1998 and after trial installations and technology evaluation it was decided to install a series of multiphase meters on unmanned wellhead platforms. A total of 9 meters have been installed and has presently been in service for up to 2 years. Another 7 meters will be put in service on new-built platforms. The background for considering multiphase meters as an alternative to well testing by traditional methods is The selected technology and measurement principles is described. The main experiences for the project is presented and discussed. Of particular interest is the collaboration model applied for the commissioning phase and the continuous follow-up of well test results by use of a field wide model of the production system. The most important achievements in the project has been that the frequency of well testing has been dramatically increased and the amount of oil lost due to well testing is greatly reduced.
