•White Paper: Subsea Flow Measurement
By Marcus Davis V-Cone Product Manager McCrometer, Inc.
Flow measurement in subsea production systems, modules and templates is a challenge for flow meters. The complexity of subsea production systems ranges from simple satellite wells with one line to complex multiple well sites with a network of lines. Several pipe lines join together below the surface and will eventually extend to a fixed platform, Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel (FPSO), or perhaps a pipeline running to a land-based operation.
Flow measurement is required in all phases of these operations, especially at well heads and where lines merge. Flow meters monitor critical processes and directly measure gases and liquids including crude, gas condensate, water, chemicals such as MEG (methyl ethyl glycol), gas for gas injection and gas lift, and many others. Subsea oil and gas production requires highly specialized and reliable precision equipment and instrumentation.
In addition to normal considerations for selecting a flow meter such as accuracy and repeatability, subsea module manufacturers are highly space constrained and must plan for transportation and implementation on the ocean floor.
McCrometer's uniquely designed differential pressure V-Cone® Flow Meter is now frequently utilized by the industry's four major Subsea Module manufacturers.
