Gas Tolerant Water Cut Meter

英国世界级的石油和天然气工业，包括生产和必要的支持服务，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技术有限公司（M-Flow）以其独特的、不断扩展的、基于Magma Global Ltd mpipe®的传感器开发产品组合，体现了这一技术领先地位。“抗气阻含水率计”（GTWCM）项目就是这样一个发展，在工业界，油井评价的一个基本参数是从油井流出的油和水的比例。由于自然污染或注入的工艺流体，总有一定比例的水随油流动。所谓的“含水率”测量仪用来测量水和油的比例。在许多情况下，油/水中还混合有气体，气体部分对现有类型的含水率计的精度造成问题。因此，GTWCM项目的主要目的和目标是：1）开发一种用于油田应用的原型耐气含水率计，该原型使用M-Flow的“背景”微波流量传感器技术和补充的附加传感技术; 2）开发解释算法和模型3）传感器结构，以纳入多参数传感器4）制定和执行流量试验台测试计划，以生成数据集，并根据模型进行校准。该提案的创新和新颖方面包括：1）首次使用嵌入在m-pipe®中的多参数传感器;2）传感技术的创新组合，以测量气体、水和油的分数;3）流态的表征和建模，以允许新传感器的校准。主要好处将包括：1）为工业提供低成本、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）更准确地对生产威尔斯和监管转移进行经济可行性评估

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
