To Further Examine the Effect of Wet Gas on our Adjusta-Cone Product

GM Flow制造一种先进的干天然气流量计，即经过处理以去除气流中自然产生的液体的气体。沙特阿美公司观察到，该仪表有可能被开发成湿气表，因此它可以直接部署在气井口上，在生产天然气和相关液体的过程中，在昂贵的天然气干燥过程之前测量它们。该仪表具有独特的、非常大的工作流量范围。通过部署具有新的和更先进的湿气功能的流量计，沙特阿美计划避免更换传统流量计，因为随着时间的推移，油井产量自然下降，传统流量计目前无法完全覆盖气体流量的显著下降。通过将湿气测量算法添加到仪表中，它对沙特阿美和其他天然气生产商来说是一个非常有吸引力的提议。这意味着我们的单表将能够继续使用，即使我们竞争对手的表会变得过大，需要用更小的表来替换。我们已经进行了一个小型的流动回路测试计划，用湿气体测试表头，然后我们在沙特阿拉伯进行了现场测试，结果令人满意。正在寻求第二个更大的流量回路测试程序，我们希望在更广泛的工作流量、含水率、压力和液体加载范围内测试该流量计。这将使我们的仪表有资格与沙特阿美进行第二次现场试验。沙特阿美有数百口油井可以部署该技术，这个A4i项目的成本将产生大约700倍于授予的赠款价值的投资回报。该流量计在天然气井和许多泵送天然气应用中具有全球适用性，因此在湿气市场和未来的碳捕获市场具有巨大的潜力，因为在那里，湿气会造成腐蚀问题。

GM Flow manufacture an advanced flow meter for dry natural gas i.e. gas that has been processed to remove naturally occurring liquids within the gas stream. The meter has been observed by Saudi Aramco as having the potential to be developed into a wet gas meter, so it could be deployed directly onto a gas wellhead to measure the gas and associated liquids, as they are being produced and before the expensive process of drying the gas.The meter has a unique, extremely large operating flow range. By deploying the meter with new and further advanced wet gas features, Aramco plan to avoid the need to replace conventional flow meters, which cannot currently fully cover the significant reduction in gas flow rates as the wells' production naturally declines over time. By adding wet gas measurement algorithms to the meter, it becomes a very attractive proposition for Aramco and other natural gas producers. It means that our single meter will be able to remain in service, long after our competitors' meters will have become oversized and need to be replaced by smaller meters.We have undertaken a small pilot flow loop test program to test the meter with wet gas, we then field tested the meter in Saudi Arabia with promising results. A second larger flow loop test program is being sought, we wish to test the meter across wider operating flow, watercut, pressure and liquid loading ranges. This will enable our meter to qualify for a second field trial with Aramco.Aramco has many hundreds of wells where the technology can be deployed, the cost of this A4i project will produce an ROI equal to some 700 times the value of the grant awarded. The flow meter has global applicability in natural gas wells and in many pumped gas applications, so has tremendous potential for the wet gas market and in the future in Carbon Capture markets, where wet gas causes corrosion problems.
