Gas Tolerant Water Cut Meter

英国世界级的石油和天然气工业，包括生产和基本支持服务，是经济的重要组成部分，也是政府未来工业战略的关键部门。M-Flow Technologies Ltd （M-Flow）凭借其基于Magma Global Ltd mpipe®的独特，扩展的传感器开发组合，体现了这一技术领先地位。拟议的“容气含水表”（GTWCM）项目就是其中一项发展。在工业中，油井评价的一个基本参数是油井的油水流出比例。由于自然污染或注入的工艺流体，总是有一定比例的水与油一起流动。所谓的“含水率”测量仪是用来测量水和油的比例。在许多情况下，也有气体与油/水混合。气体馏分给现有类型的含水计的精度带来了问题。因此，GTWCM项目的主要目的和目标是：1)使用M-Flow的“背景”微波流量传感器技术和补充的附加传感技术，开发用于油田应用的耐气含水仪表原型；2)解释算法和模型的开发；3)传感器的构建以整合多参数传感器；4)流动钻机测试计划的开发和执行，以生成要根据模型校准的数据集。该提案的创新和新颖方面包括：1)首次使用嵌入m-pipe®的多参数传感器；2)测量气、水和油馏分的传感技术的创新组合；3)流动状态的表征和建模，以便对新传感器进行校准。主要好处包括：1)为工业提供了一种低成本、低维护、更小、更坚固的设备，可以准确地监测三相流中的含水率。2)生产井经济可行性评价和托管转移更加准确

The UK’s world class oil and gas industry, comprising both production and the essentialsupport services, is a vital part of the economy and also a key sector of the Government’sfuture industrial strategy. M-Flow Technologies Ltd (M-Flow) epitomises this technology leadwith its unique, expanding, portfolio of sensor developments based Magma Global Ltd mpipe®. The proposed ‘Gas Tolerant Water-Cut Meter’ (GTWCM) Project is one suchdevelopment.Within the industry a fundamental oil well evaluation parameter is the proportion of oil andwater flowing from the well. Due to natural contamination or injected process fluids there isalways a proportion of water flowing with the oil. So-called ‘water-cut’ meters are used tomeasure the ratio of water and oil. In many cases there is also gas mixed with the oil/water.The gas fraction causes problems for the accuracy of existing types of water-cut meters. Thekey aims and objectives of the GTWCM Project are therefore:1) Development of a prototype gas-tolerant water-cut meter for use in oil field applicationsusing both M-Flow’s ‘background’ microwave flow sensor technology and complimentaryadditional sensing techniques;2) Development of interpretational algorithms and models3) Sensor construction to incorporate the multi-parameter sensors4) Development and execution of a flow rig test plan to generate data sets to be calibratedagainst models.The innovation and novel aspects of the proposal include:1) The first use of multi- parameter sensors embedded within m-pipe®;2) Innovative combinations of sensing techniques to measure gas, water and oil fractions;3) Characterisation and modelling of flow regimes to allow calibration of the new sensor.The main benefits will include:1) Provision to industry of a lower-cost, low maintenance, smaller, robust device that canaccurately monitor water cut in three phase flows.2) More accurate economic viability assessment for production wells and custody transfer
