Wellhead flow measurement

Coriolis based solutions for single phase and multiphase measurement

  • For liquid and gas mixtures 
  • Net-oil and watercut measurement
  • Direct measurement on the wellhead
  • Meter maintains operation over a wide range of gas fractions and complex flow conditions

Test separator at oil and gas wellhead remote platform for collect value of gas, condensate and water of each well to know the potential of the produce well

Cost-effective, repeatable, reliable and robust measurements are what every operator is looking for to optimise the performance of wells and reservoirs. KROHNE OPTIMASS Coriolis flowmeters ensure continuous measurement for gas and liquid mixtures. With EGMTM Entrained Gas Management the meter maintains operation over a wide range of gas fractions and complex flow conditions.

OPTIMASS can be installed directly on the wellhead, for example in heavy oil applications. The integrated density measurement can be used for net oil and water cut calculations, making OPTIMASS exactly the right instrument for installation on test separators and production separators. Liquid carry-over and gas carry-under can be detected at an early stage, ensuring optimum performance of equipment.

Highlights

  • Cost effective approach based on OPTIMASS Coriolis technology
  • Mounted on test separator or production separator
  • Mass and volume flow measurement 
  • Density measurement for concentration, water cut and net-oil calculations
  • Straight and bent tube designs with minimised footprint 
  • Advanced Entrained Gas Management (EGMTM): Meter maintains operation over a wide range of gas fractions and complex flow conditions

Typical applications

  • Continuous monitoring of well performance
  • Well testing
  • Flow assurance
  • Test separators
  • Wellhead measurements in heavy oil applications
