Multiphase Flow Meters Supporting Flow Assurance Goals
The Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter offers many useful data points, providing useful flow assurance insights
Utilizing Multiphase Flow Meters in Your Flow Assurance Journey
Maintaining the integrity of piping and operations is a key concern, and gaining insights into flow assurance risks can be challenging at times. The more data points available to support flow assurance efforts, the better. With the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter, you can be assured of an instrument mechanically suitable for even the most sour of environments. In addition, the meter provides data relating to wax or scale build-up. In coordination with the Roxar Multiphase Salinity System and the Roxar Acoustic Sand Monitor, insights are provided related to changes in water conductivity and sand production rates respectively.

The Roxar Multiphase Salinity System provides sensitive and real-time measurements of the conductivity and salinity of produced water in multiphase production wells. Together with the Roxar Multiphase Meter, this enables operators to obtain saline independent multiphase measurements, take immediate remedial action to improve flow assurance (optimizing corrosion, erosion and scale inhibitors), minimize water coning, and maximize oil & gas production.
- Compact design consisting of a pipe spool and an Ex d flow computer, typically mounted upstream of the Roxar 2600 MPFM
- Modular based approach ensures the RMSS is a separate module, allowing integration with both new and existing Roxar 2600 MPFM
- Real-time continuous outputs of both water conductivity and salinity

Roxar SAM Acoustic Sand Monitor is a non-intrusive sensor that provides real-time production sand information, allowing increased oil & gas production rates and less topside erosion events. The referenced instrument is based on acoustic technology and proprietary algorithms that translate the sand noise into actionable data. The Roxar SAM provides an immediate response to sand production that allows production flow adjustment, sand separator efficiency monitoring and other onshore and offshore upstream applications. The referenced instrument data can be enhanced further with Roxar SandLog and / or Permasense corrosion and erosion monitors.
- Non-intrusive, easy to install
- Easy to understand sand intensity and quantification data
- Sand quantification when combined with sand injection calibration
Uncertainty
+/– 5% (with sand injection calibration)
Particle Detection
Typically from 15 µm (gas) and 25 µm (liquid)
Flow Velocity
Minimum 1 m/s
