Coriolis Meters & Wet Gas Service
Author(s): Richard Steven, Josh Kinney
Abstract/Introduction:
For economic reasons most wet gas flows are metered by single phase gas meter technologies. The wet gas performance of different gas meters is therefore important. While a good dry gas meter, there is little published about Coriolis meter wet gas performance. In 2010 BP, CoP , & Emerson recorded a limited Coriolis meter wet gas data set at CEESI. To discuss the data it is necessary to review the terminology.

Cryogenic Facility For Testing Low Temperature And LNG Meter
Author(s): T. Cousins
Abstract/Introduction:
Even with the drop in value of Gas the construction of LNG production facilities around the world continues to increase. Cooling natural gas to about - 260 F at ambient pressure results in the condensation of the gas into liquid form, known as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The formation of LNG is essential in the international transportation of natural gas, as LNG takes up about one six hundredth the volume of gaseous natural gas, making transportation over long distances more efficient. Liquification also has the advantage of removing oxygen, carbon dioxide, sulphur, and water from the natural gas, resulting in LNG that is almost pure methane.

Coriolis Meters & Wet Gas Service
Author(s): Richard Steven Josh Kinney
Abstract/Introduction:
The natural gas production industry has a wide spre ad requirement to meter wet natural gas flows. Wet natural gas flows tend to b e present in two different production scenarios. The first is upstream of the processing system. In this scenario there can be a substantial quantity of liq uid relative to the gas flow (i.e. a large liquid loading). The other is downstream o f the processing system where further changes in thermodynamic conditions can cau se some heavier gas components to drop out of the processed gas. In th is scenario there is typically a relatively small quantity of liquid relative to the gas flow (i.e. a low liquid loading). Industry requires to meter both these wet natural gas flow scenarios

Dew Point, Wet Gas And Its Effect On Natural Gas Sampling Systems
Author(s): Philip A Lawrence, Susan Brandon
Abstract/Introduction:
Wet gas measurement is becoming widely used in the m odern oil and gas market place. The effect of entrained liquid in gas and its impact on measurement systems is being researched world - wide by various laborat ories and JIP working groups. The impact can be very significant financially. Hydrocarbon and Water Dew Point also effects the financial operation of a gas transportation company if not managed effectively amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars per annum generally based on incorrect sampling and its subsequent analysis

A Differential Pressure Meter For Low Reynolds Numbers
Author(s): Craig Marshall
Abstract/Introduction:
World energy demands are expected to increase consi stently for the foreseeable future putting additional stress on energy security . Hydrocarbons have long been a stable source of energy for the world and their u se is expected to increase in line with energy demand. Worldwide production rates for oil and gas are set grow substantially 1. However, with the majority of fl uids produced already considered to be light or conventional fluids, the additional production will have to come from more unconventional sources.

The Practical Uncertainty Of Proved And Unproved Meters For Liquid Hydrocarbon Measurement
Author(s): Terry Cousins
Abstract/Introduction:
The paper compares the potential performance of a l iquid custody transfer flow meters in the field when calibrated at a laboratory and operated in the filed without proving, and then with the same meter if it calibrated on site, using in- situ proving. The paper concentrates on the resulta nt uncertainties, not as a theoretical concept but in practical terms, to be o btained by both methods. The objective is not to produce a paper on detailed unc ertainty methods but to give a real idea of the issues that will affect the uncert ainty, and some view as to the relative importance of each issue

Cryogenic Facility For Testing Low Temperature And LNG Meters
Author(s): W. R. Johansen, T. m. Kegel T. Cousins
Abstract/Introduction:
A liquid nitrogen calibration system has been in co ntinuous use at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) facili ty in Boulder, Colorado USA since 1970. The system has been moved to the Colora do Engineering Experiment Station, Inc (CEESI) flow laboratory near Nunn, Col orado. NIST will continue to provide calibrations at the new location and CEESI will begin to provide commercial calibrations using the same equipment. A desctription of the events leading up to the desi gn and construction of the system is available in a paper by Scott and Lewis1 . The use of the system as an ambient temperature gas flow measurement system is described by Mann and Brennan2.

Multiphase Flowmeter Performance Evaluation
Author(s): Hugo Harstad, Audun Aspelund Hamza Fahd Matallah Bertus Bergsma
Abstract/Introduction:
Multiphase flowmeter (MPFM) manufacturers lack indu stry standards for comparison and validation of meter performance. The refore, when introducing a new meter to the market, the lack of standards is a challenge and will likely delay access to oilfield trials and product commercializa tion. Since 2010 Abbon has developed a new non-radioactiv e multiphase flowmeter. It is a 3 meter with a compact and durable design. Me chanical design, materials, electronics, engineering and software coding have m atured from component testing and prototyping into a field ready product

Abstract/Introduction:
The multiphase and wet ga s meters (MPFM) are way out of the infancy, being on the market since more than 20 years. The business is growing and significa ntly even during the last years carried by some key MPFM users making large repeat orders . Meanwhile, the very con servative oil a nd gas business , with sometime unrealistic specification of manufacturers make the growth not to level we should be expect ed, and furthermore some oil and gas companies are still suspicious with such products

Making One Multiphase Meter Per Well A Reality In Asian Fields
Author(s): Oyvind Bjorkhaug Charles Johnson Finney Feng Puneet Jain Lars Anders Ruden
Abstract/Introduction:
With many Asian oil & gas operators facing tighter margins due to the current low oil & gas prices, the costs of deploying one multip hase meter per well is simply not feasible. Yet, multiphase meters and the abili ty to accurately measure the flow rates of oil, gas and water directly from the well-head in real-time still represent one of the best means of improving well e fficiencies and the cost- effective delivery of oil & gas from reservoir to r efinery. This extended abstract will examine how new, smart, flexible and cost-effe ctive multiphase metering technologies are meeting this need based around the concept of modularit

A New Salinity System For Improved Hydrate Management And Flow Assurance In Asia Pacific
Author(s): Teerachai Leeungculsatien Oyvind Bjorkhaug
Abstract/Introduction:
Many Asia Pacific oil & gas wells today are being p roduced over a wider range of process conditions with more liquid and water present and greater chan ces of saline and formation water entering the flow. This is particularly the case for wet gas fields, l eading to scaling and hydrates formation, corrosion and threats to the integrity a nd availability of subsea wells and infrastructure (as well as increasing the need for MEG injection). In worst- case scenarios, formation water and water coning in the reservoir can jeopardize hydrocarbon production and lead to well shutdowns. With the current low oil & gas prices, the presence of such production obstacl es can also have a highly negative impact on field economics
