Abstract

Traditional multiphase flowmeters are deficient for low measurement accuracy, risky radiation sources, complex processes and high costs. The multiphase flowmeter with exempt radiation source measures the total flow rate of multiphase fluids according to the Venturi principle and the phase fraction of the multiphase fluids by using the exempt source gamma sensor radiation absorption technology. According to the total flow rate and phase fraction obtained, the flow rates of oil, water, and gas are determined. The application in measuring single-well flow-rate under the multi-well production and gathering model on a platform in paralic zone shows that the multiphase flowmeter with exempt radiation source achieves higher measurement accuracy, safer operation, and better economic benefits than traditional flowmeters. Moreover, the multiphase flowmeter with exempt radiation source avoids complex configuration, with simple process and no pollution. It is worth of promotion. © 2022 Well Testing.
