Ensuring the integrity and safety of all your facilities is important. The Roxar multiphase meters have unique measurement techniques, that enable the ability to report even the smallest changes in water production, as well as detect scale and wax build-up. The highly sensitive measurements arm you with data to inform your actions to protect and maintain your facilities effectively.
The real-time, high-resolution data provided by Roxar multiphase meters supports your ability to make data driven decisions and to carefully monitor the effects of adjustments made. Ultimately, whether your application is onshore or offshore, a fixed installation or mobile, single well or multi-well, the data obtained can support your ability to produce as much hydrocarbon as possible and as effectively as possible, maximizing profit.
Although applications in the unconventional oil and gas market align with the three previous application examples provided, it deserves a special mention, given how diverse the flowing conditions are, when compared to the conventional oil and gas market. Whether your application is shale oil, wet gas or dry gas, Emerson has considerable field experience in the shale market with the Roxar 2600 MPFM, and you can be confident when selecting your measurement instruments from Emerson.
When performing well testing operations, moving large, heavy pieces of equipment from location to location can be challenging. It is also important that instrumentation is user friendly and efficient to commission at each new location. By using the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter, you can be assured of a high-performance measurement instrument, providing you with the data you need, with an intuitive and effective web user interface, streamlining all required interactions with the meter.
The Roxar 2600 MPFM utilizes a number of raw data measurement techniques. The components included are an electrical impedance section, gamma density measurement when this is included in the supply, a field replaceable venturi section and a Rosemount MVT. These raw data measurements are all that are required to provide high quality data regarding your multiphase flow. The next step is ensuring the data is correctly interpreted within the meter software.
Roxar Rapid Adaptive Measurement is the embedded software for the Roxar 2600 MPFM. The raw data measurements are taken into this software, where 3 decades of experience is put to good use. The software utilizes various modules with parallel computation, each suitable for unique flowing conditions. With self-assigned confidence levels for each module, the software automatically selects the most suitable module at any given moment. All this computation power is provided at a resolution of 10Hz.
The Roxar 5726 Multiphase Transmitter contains all of the electronic hardware for the Roxar MPFM and is mounted directly onto the meter body. This simplifies cabling needs and installation requirements. An intuitive Web User Interface guides you through all interactions with the meter that may be required. There is incredible processing power and data storage capabilities, ensuring that no matter what measurement or feature requirements may come, your meter is fit for the future.
Emerson has an extensive and experienced service organization. The service engineers have been specifically trained and qualified to support the Roxar MPFM to the high standard you expect. These worldwide capabilities mean you are sure to find a local service engineer ready to support your needs. Should you encounter a challenge and require support, or wish to perform regular maintenance, checks and calibrations, we have the worldwide organization in place to support you.
The Roxar 2600 MPFM has considerable automation and self-diagnostic capabilities, however some extra attention and assurances can be extremely valuable. With Performance Monitoring services, Emerson experts provide support by proactively monitoring the performance of your Roxar MPFM install base. This enables a data driven actions approach to any meter interactions or field work, enhancing both efficiency in resource use and confidence in measurement performance.

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.
