Reliability analysis of multiphase flow measurements in different oil fields

The significant challenge in the oil and gas industry is the simultaneous measurement of commingled gas, oil, and water streams using separators or multiphase flow meters (MPFM). A major issue when using either test separator or MPFM in oil fields is the uncertainty of the measurements. The aim of...

Generally, the results show wide variation of the liquid rate measurements between the conventional test separator and MPFM over several periods of time.
