Multiphase and wet gas measurement in the upstream oil and gas industry is a challenging task. The process conditions can vary widely; gas volume fraction and water to liquid ratio can both vary from 0 to 100%. It is therefore of utmost importance to understand the process and to select the measurement solution that ensures reliable measurement throughout the lifecycle of the field. Our KROHNE multiphase experts will assist you to determine the best solution to measure your application, not only for today, but also during the years to come.
Designing the optimal wet gas or wellhead measuring system with an unambiguous functional design specification requires specific skills and experience. As a long-time manufacturer of flowmeters, instrumentation, flow computers and supervisory software, KROHNE engineers cover all the disciplines required to achieve a cost effective, fit-for-purpose design. Piping stress calculations, E&I diagrams, metrological test requirements, FAT, SAT and commissioning procedures, amongst others, are all planned and engineered in-house by our experienced specialists. Workflow considerations are taken into account in the design, to ensure a solution which results in savings on operating costs over the complete lifetime.
