The rewards on offer from subsea boosting technology were spelled out at the MCE Deepwater Development Conference in London this spring by Arne B. Olsen, sales director, pumps and subsea processing at OneSubsea. Meg Chesshyre reports. Gullfaks…
Accurate allocation measurement results are a key financial and commercial driver for exploration and production companies. Yet despite limited evidence of the performance of Coriolis and ultrasonic flow meter technology, they are being…
This year’s OTC Spotlight Awards showcases innovation in offshore seismic, drilling, subsea operations, inspection, performance maintenance and monitoring, and more. Congratulations to the recipients! MultiNode…
OneSubsea delivered the world’s first subsea multiphase compressor to Statoil for the Gullfaks South field in the North Sea. The subsea multiphase compressor enables boosting of unprocessed wet gas production fluids, while eliminating…
Flow measurement isn’t always foremost in industry debates, but the role it plays – and getting it right – is key. Elaine Maslin found out more. NEL’s flow measurement facility. Image from NEL…
FPSO, deepwater riser and subsea architecture. Photos from Flowsure. Ensuring successful fluid flow has always been at the heart of the oil and gas industry. However, it is only in the last…
Emerson Process Management has opened a flow loop facility for Roxar technologies in Stavanger. The new facility will increase production capacity and drive future developments in multiphase meters, enabling oil and gas operators to access…
NCS Subsea, GeoTrace and SpecPartners set the start date for a multiphase, large scale project called SAFE-BAND. Acquisition is to begin 1 June 2014. NCS Subsea said it will be the first multi-client geohazard survey on a regional scale utilizing ultra-high resolution 3D seismic (UHR3D)…
Accurate measurement of the output of wet gas fields is an important means of reducing the financial risks that exploration and production (E&P) companies face in sales gas allocation. Ultrasonic flow meter technology is proven for dry…
Schlumberger released the Vx Spectra surface multiphase flowmeter, which enables operators to obtain flow rate measurements in production testing and permanent monitoring. The Vx Spectra 19mm monitors low-rate producing wells down to 30 b/d…
A European consortium, led by NEL in the UK, has been awarded a three year research project to establish a reference measurement network and standards aimed at improving the accuracy of subsea multiphase flow measurement for the oil and gas industry…
Scotland’s NEL center will launch a new multiphase flow measurement test facility by year’s end. A second, able to operate at up to 150bar, is under development. Elaine Maslin paid a visit to learn more. NEL’s laboratories were originally set up in the 1940s…
Subsea sampling can help increase PVT accuracy and improve subsea multiphase meter performance. Test lines for subsea well testing cost as much as US$60 million and come with logistical and well intervention challenges. Eivind Gransaether explains…
Schlumberger released the Vx Spectra surface multiphase flowmeter. The new multiphase flowmeter enables operators to obtain flow rate measurements in production testing and permanent monitoring. “A precise production allocation requires…
OneSubsea is to provide pump systems for the Total Moho Phase 1bis development in the deep water Moho-Bilondo license offshore Congo. The contract includes a multiphase pump station with two 3.5megawatt high-boost pumps, a power and control module…
