Upstream Flow Measurement in Oil & Gas Industry

Upstream flow measurement is crucial for several critical applications in the oil and gas industry. It is pivotal in monitoring production rates, optimizing reservoir management, and assessing healthy performance. Accurate flow measurement allows operators to make informed decisions regarding interventions and maintenance to maximize extraction output. Moreover, precise quantification of fluids is essential for fair allocation among stakeholders and custody transfer purposes in shared production facilities. This ensures transparent distribution and fair compensation between companies involved in the extraction and production.

Measuring Areas in Upstream

Reservoir pressure and flow monitoring: Measuring drilled wells' oil and gas flow rates helps assess reservoir productivity and optimize extraction strategies.

Mudflow measurement: During drilling, flow meters track the mud used to cool and lubricate the drill bit, ensuring efficient drilling and maintaining wellbore integrity.

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR): Monitoring water or chemical injection rates for techniques like hydraulic fracturing requires accurate flow measurement to optimize recovery and minimize cost.

Pipeline leak detection: Detecting even small leaks in pipelines carrying valuable oil and gas is crucial for environmental protection and economic reasons. Flow meters can help identify anomalies that indicate potential leaks.
