Topside Meters

Photo: Emile AshleyThe MPM topside meter is intended for production monitoring, well testing and allocation metering purposes. It can be supplied as a Multiphase meter, a Wetgas meter, or as a combined Wetgas and Multiphase meter 

MPM topside meters are installed permanently at onshore and offshore sites. They measure continuously and real-time the production from any well. The measurements help increasing the knowledge of the reservoar and how wells behave, and how well artificial lift and other production stimuli systems work. MPM meters can give significant contributions to optimizing production, recovery and revenue. It will also help reducing the size and complexity of metering systems.  They can be used to increase capacity of, and in some cases instead of, test separators.

The MPM topside meters can be equipped with all of the special features offered by MPM.

The Meter is built with all parts in one unit with minimum need for final assembly on site. The electronics are designed and built to survive in severe and violent conditions and the transmitters are fixed to the sensor body.



One meter covers all

The MPM Meter performs measurements over the full Gas Volume Fraction (GVF) range, from 0 to 100%. For GVF’s up to 90-95% GVF, the Meter typical operates in Multiphase mode. For GVF’s above 95%, the Meter’s Wetgas mode should be used. The hardware is identical; however, the metrology applied and the associated software is different for the two modes.

For all GVFs, the Meter covers the full range of watercuts, from 0 to 100%. One of the Meters really unique properties is the ability to measure the watercut equally well at high watercuts (water continuous flow) and lower watercuts (oil continuous). As a consequence, the MPM Meter performs reliable oil flow rate measurements even at high watercuts and high GVFs. This has until now been perceived a weakness by the users of all of the multiphase meters on the market.
