FloWatcher Permanent Downhole Production Monitor
Integrated production monitor for real-time downhole data
The FloWatcher permanent downhole production monitor provides continuous measurements of pressure, temperature, flow rate, and fluid density. Two high-precision quartz pressure gauges in gauge mandrels measure the pressure drop across a venturi, which is directly proportional to the square of the fluid velocity. A third high-precision quartz pressure gauge in the FloWatcher monitor measures fluid density. These two measurements are used to compute the flow rate and water holdup. The venturi can be either an integral part of the gauge mandrels or slickline retrievable.
FloWatcher applications
