Data analysis is changing the landscape of the oil and gas industry. Operators are turning to the power of data to identify operational upsets throughout the field. Separation is one of the cornerstones of upstream operations. When separation problems occur, leading to gas blowby and liquid carryover, engineers need to be alerted of the situation so that they can correct it. Coriolis meters are frequently used because of their ability to tolerate sand, debris, and gas coming out of solution.

Confusion often arises over the difference between mass and volume flow measurement and when a particular measurement should be applied.
