Multiphase Flow Measurement
Robust, reliable and field proven multiphase flow measurement instrumentation
High quality measurement of multiphase flow, without the need for separation, is required in an ever-growing variety of applications and field conditions worldwide.
When selecting a multiphase flow meter from Emerson, you can be assured of robust and reliable measurement performance in any multiphase flow application. With over 30 years of field experience and a global presence, you can be confident of both the measurement instrument and the support you need, from a supplier you know and trust.
Many assets have joint ownership or points where flow from different assets may comingle. The high-quality, robust, reliable and repeatable measurement data obtained from the Roxar multiphase meters support you in ensuring financial gain is allocated as it should be. By using multiphase flow meters for these applications, there can be huge savings in piping, separators, and equipment footprint, as well as a field proven instrument from Emerson providing a reliable measurement solution.
Mobile Well testing with Roxar 2600 Multiphase meters installed in trucks or fixed well testing installations is a common application. The Multiphase meter is supported by Fieldwatch software that enable post processing of measurement data to allow for well testing without complete PVT data available at the time of testing the well. Optimizing the workflow and saving costs&time in the field for the well testing company.
On offshore- and often unmanned wellhead platforms direct and continuous well monitoring is crucial and space and power resources are limited. The Roxar 2600 MPFM is ideal to be used under such circumstances. With 100% remote operations, no moving parts and low power consumption, compact size, the Roxar 2600 MPFM is the field proven Multiphase metering solution to be used for wellhead platforms
One Multiphase meter per well is finally possible for onshore low producing wells. The MPFM 2600 modular design enables a simple cost efficient well monitoring set up. This one meter per well strategy saves pipelines, manifolds, test separator costs and in addition provides real time well measurement data to monitor production. The Roxar 2600 MPFM comes with easy set up wizards and remote connectivity to minimize operators to spend time in the field.
The Multiphase and Wetgas meters apply a combination of electrical impedance measurements with cross correlation for velocity measurements. Depending on the application and measurement needs, the system can be extended with Venturi measurements, a gamma density system, a sand monitoring system, salinity measurements and a Wetgas operating mode.
Operators that use multiphase meters to monitor their wells will obtain real-time and continuous well flow information. This will allow for early detection of water/gas breakthrough and improved well control. Knowledge of the individual phase flow rates of a producing well are required to facilitate reservoir management, field development, operational control, flow assurance and production allocation.
The cost of separators can vary considerable depending on the sophistication of the solution, philosophy, geographical location, application and use. Multiphase meters potentially allow for significant CAPEX and OPEX savings in many examples compared to traditional solutions. By using a multiphase meter, there is often no need for the test separator, test manifold and test line. Each well can be monitored continuously without having to redirect them through a test line or use a mobile well test separator.
Introducing the Roxar 5726 Multiphase Transmitter, the new electronics hardware platform for the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter, offering high measurement resolution and processing power for improved autonomy and data analytics.
With Rapid Adaptive Measurement, the meter flow computer conducts parallel computation using multiple calculations modules. Each calculation module runs independently, and modules can be enhanced or replaced in the future without affecting the rest of the software structure.
The Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter powered by the 5726 Multiphase Transmitter offers future-ready reliability, allowing operators to easily adopt new enhancements without costly replacements. It ensures efficient, long-term performance, adapting to evolving needs and maximizing asset lifecycle value.
The updated compact hardware arrangement of the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter powered by the 5726 Multiphase Transmitter provides straight forward, effective installation, reduced instrumentation footprint and simplified field cabling requirements.
As oil and gas operators worldwide adjust their production methodologies and target more challenging reservoirs, the flow profiles from the wells are becoming significantly more varied and dynamic, and the demands on the instrumentation increase. To address these demands in multiphase measurement, Emerson restructured how the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter now processes sensor signals, self-verifies calculation modules and automatically selects the best-suited measurement modes at any given moment. This ensures that operators receive reliable oil, water and gas measurement, without the need for frequent reconfiguration, even in the most challenging field conditions.
Layer detection and compensation features are built into the embedded software of the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter to protect the integrity, reliability and robustness of the measurement results provided by the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter.
At different pressures and temperatures, the interaction between the oil, water and gas phases of the multiphase flow constantly changes. An extensive PVT calculation engine is now embedded within the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter flow computer software, which supports several equations of state models and property libraries, ensuring volumes are correct as pressures and temperatures change.
The adaptive density measurement feature has been introduced within the Rapid Adaptive Measurement embedded software for the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter, to ensure performance with the highest possible stability and reliability in flow regimes with high gas fractions, or when the flow is slugging and sees such conditions periodically.
