Multiphase Flow Rate Measurements Without Fluid Separation
Vx multiphase well testing technology for advanced multiphase flow rate measurements lets you measure oil, gas, and water flow rates without prior separation. Metering equipment with Vx technology is small, light, and has no moving parts, making it essentially maintenance free.
Nuclear Detector Technology
The technology is based on sophisticated flow models and uses nuclear detector technology, which gives high-quality, dynamic multiphase flow measurements. A Barium-133 source and a smart detector designed specifically for this application operate at as low as reasonably achievable nonhazardous gamma ray energy levels for field operators. The highly reliable well test data obtained helps diagnose production anomalies continuously, resolve problems more quickly, and produce wells more efficiently.
Multiphase technology leaders
Schlumberger and Framo Engineering merged their technologies and manufacturing expertise in 1998 to develop Vx multiphase metering technology, and manufacture PhaseWatcher and PhaseTester multiphase metering equipment.
Vx Advantages
Use Vx technology to quantify flow-rate data during cleanup, improve flow assurance, improve well performance assessment, reduce operating times, lower operational costs.
Vx Firsts
- First multiphase flowmeter (MPFM) used for fiscal production measurements
- First Web-enabled multiphase meter allowing access to well performance measurements
- First multiphase flow rate measurement hardware applicable to oil and gas wells
Remote, real-time surveillance of multiphase flow rates and flowmeter performance.
