Development of Image Based Multiphase Flowmeter

iPhase是一家小型专业公司，在石油和天然气行业拥有广泛的创新专业知识。iPhase计划为油田开发一种新型多相流量计，与现有产品相比具有实质性的技术和营销优势。本文档描述了技术背景并概述了概念验证计划。多相流量计在石油工业中有许多应用，用于气体、石油、水和固体的流动：井下、井口、平台、海底、湿气、重油、气举、焦油砂等。该项目旨在开发一种多相流量计，能够实现以下功能：（i）非侵入式过程;（ii）准确评估各种流动相（水、油、气和砂/泥浆）;（iii）集成各种技术以提供交叉参考;（iv）全电动（无核源）;（v）详细成像通过管段的流动

iPhase is a small, specialized, company with extensive innovation expertise in the oil & gasindustry.iPhase plans to develop a novel multiphase flowmeter for the oilfield with substantialtechnical and marketing advantages over the current offerings. This document describes thetechnical background and outlines the plan as far as proof of concept.There are many applications of multiphase flowmeters in the oil industry for flows of gas, oil,water and solids: downhole, wellhead, platform, subsea, wet gas, heavy oil, gas lift, tar sandsetc. The further upstream in the process the more complex and demanding the conditions, sosubsea and downhole are the most difficult, but in compensation the accuracy requirementsmay be less demanding.This project seeks to develop a multiphase flowmeter capable of the following:-(i) non-invasive process(ii) accurate assessment of the various flow phases (water, oil, gas & sand/mud )(iii) integrating various technologies to provide cross-referencing(iv) fully electrical (no nuclear sources)(v) detailed imaging of flows across a pipe section
