A virtual multiphase flow meter, co-developed with an automation vendor
Real-time oil, gas and water rates per well calculated from existing measurements, written back to the customer's data store or dashboard.
Challenge
Actual production rates from individual wells are poorly measured, so critical information for production optimisation is missing, and physical multiphase meters are seen as too costly to install everywhere.
Solution
Arundo and the vendor co-developed a virtual multiphase flow meter that calculates individual oil, gas and water flow rates in real time from the measurements already available. The rates are written back to the customer's data repository or shown in a dashboard.
Impact
A virtual meter the vendor sells to its own customers.
