From Wellhead to Refinery _____ © iStockphoto / 2007 Mayumi Terao Measurement Technology for every Application Offshore Gas Measurement ______ FLUXUS® overcomes wall thickness limitations allow the meters to work over a wide range of applications with little regard for variables such as wall thickness and process conditions. A large oil company operating offshore in the Asia-Pacific region called on FLEXIM to help with flow measurement in a 152.4 mm (6 inch), schedule160, thick walled pipe carrying natural gas for injection at 70 bar (1,000 psi). Due to the installation of a new compressor...

Pulsating low flows on high-pressure liquids in small diameter, thick walled pipes (schedule160) were the primary challenges for the FLUXUS® flow meters. Because of high sour gas content, a continuous control of the injection rate of ethylamine into the risers to avoid sulphur crystallisation is crucial. The extracted gas later becomes dehydrated in absorber towers using...

© DUFOUR MARCO / TOTAL Water Injection ______ FLUXUS®, more than a match for erosion Water injection is a common way to extend reservoir life through intelligent well management. In order to raise the reservoir pressure and improve the production rate, sea water is injected into the well. The injected water quantities are monitored by flow meters and transmitted to the process control system. The water injection takes place in two steps. Firstly the booster pumps suck the water out of the reservoir's water tank to create a slight admission pressure of approximately 15 bar (217 psi). The...
