ONLINE: Multiphase Flow Metering (PRO910)
Description
Over the last three decades the development, evaluation and use of Multiphase Flow Meters (MFMs) for field allocation, production optimisation and well testing has been a major focus for the oil & gas industry worldwide.
So far, many alternative metering systems have been developed, but none of them can be referred to as generally applicable or universally accurate.
This course reviews and assesses both established and novel MFM technologies in terms of advantages or shortcomings from an operator point of view. The lessons learned about the practical reliability, accuracy and use of the available technology are discussed.
The course provides a critical and independent review of the current status and future trends of MFM.
Course Structure: 9 modules of 1½ hours each, delivered over 3 days
Each day will consist of 3 modules, split into units of 1½ hours, followed by a 20 min break.
Course Level: Skill
Duration: 3 days
Instructor: Gioia Falcone

Designed for you, if you are...
- A reservoir engineer or production engineer who uses production data for the calibration and history matching of reservoir and wellbore flow models, and for the optimisation of reservoir management and production operations
- A metering or allocation engineer who wants to learn the differences between conventional (single-phase) and multiphase flow measurement
- A professional who has to select, install, operate and interpret multiphase flow meters
You should have some basic knowledge and understanding of conventional fluid metering and fluid properties.
How we build your confidence
- Starting with an introduction to the complexities of the multiphase flows encountered in the oil & gas industry, the fundamental approaches to metering such flows are presented, vis-à-vis the solutions already implemented to date.
- Special application areas, such as wet gas metering and heavy oil metering, are then introduced.
- Once the key multiphase measurement principles are understood, their current applicability for different metering purposes (from reservoir management to custody transfer) is discussed.
- The course includes short films and discussions of selection criteria and field implementation issues.
The benefits from attending
By the end of the course you will feel confident in your understanding of:- Fundamentals of multiphase metering in petroleum engineering applications
