Multiphase Flow Metering Technique Based on Passive Fiber Optic Components for Oil Producing Wells

Abstract:- Monitoring oil fields reservoirs for optimizing the production have been satisfied by wellhead sampling and test separator metering. Development and research work have been taking place to develop smaller size and lower cost multiphase flow meters that improve well testing and replace the large and expensive test separators. Recently some commercial multiphase flow meters were introduced that measure gas, oil and water volume flow rates at line conditions via a variety of sensing techniques. This paper is introducing with mathematical modeling, a new technique for multiphase flow metering based on passive fiber optic components “Fiber Bragg Gratings Technology“. The new multiphase flow metering technique may offer higher accuracy, smaller size, lower cost, and improved corrosion and erosion tolerances, adaptive to changes in liquid density, higher safety in harsh process service
