Abstract:A multiphase flowmeter (MPFM) is used in the upstream oil and gas industry for continuous, inline, real-time, oil-gas-water flow measurement without fluid separation. An MPFM typically consists of phase-fraction (holdup) and velocity (or flow rate) measurements. It is desirable to have homogeneous flow at the measurement location so that the phase-fraction measurement is representative. A horizontal blind-tee pipe-section is often installed to homogenize flow in the downstream vertical Venturi-based flowmeters… Show more
