Multiphase and Wet Gas Flow Measurements in Conventional and Unconventional Data Driven Environment 28–29 January 2020 | The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center | Galveston, Texas, USA In the new world of maximizing recovery maximizing recovery via high frequency from unconventional and tight reservoirs while continuing to lower operational measurements. Multiphase and wet gas that exhibit significant transient flowing costs, operators need reliable digital meters, as well as virtual meters, have behavior and rapid production declines, technology. Flow rate measurements are been used for reservoir and process increased test frequency along with real the backbone to reservoir management management, regulatory reporting, time measurement serve as important and to maximize recovery. Multiphase allocation, and custody transfer. These tools for optimizing production. and wet gas flow metering technologies devices are compact, convenient to deploy, are critical tools to meet the new provide real-time measurement, and are Successful use of technology requires market-driven demands. While these relatively low maintenance. deeper understanding of challenges technologies have been commercially and methods to overcome them. Also, available for a couple of decades, the Multiphase and wet gas metering hardware aspects such as costs, regulatory changing operational environments and and associated flow interpretation readily requirements, accuracy, repeatability, evolving digital paradigms necessitate integrates with, and form underpinnings maintenance-needs, fluid characterization, a fresh look and renewed discussion on of, progressive digital oilfield and algorithm improvements need to its applications. Traditional separators architectures. The meters provide real- be discussed. This workshop, which provide dual functionality of gravitational time measurement that meshes well with encompasses diverse participation from phase separation and then measurement surface and downhole streams of pressure, operators, service companies, research of separated single-phase flow. Multiphase temperature, vibrations, etc. Data analytics groups, and academia, will promote such flow measurement devices eliminate the efforts are enhanced with increased test discussions and exchange of ideas to need for phase separation to measure flow frequency and MPFM offer the potential harness multiphase flow measurement rate, thus expanding the options available for shorter and more frequent unmanned technology to fulfill the goal to maximize to the operator to optimize OPEX while well tests.

This session also includes virtual and physical meter discussion and stand-alone flow sensing. 1530–1700 Grand Ballroom AB The session discussions are meant to touch at any type or scale of Session 4: MPFM/WGFM Input Fluid data integration involving the use of MPFM/WGFM, or their underlying Parameter Characterization measurements. This of course would depend on the sought benefit and Session Chairpersons: the application. A short but not limited list of such applications could be: John Lievois, Weatherford; Dilhan Goonesekera, OneSubsea – Way to integrate MPFM with surface facilities: well testing or continuous well rate determination Fluid property characterization is important for any type of production – Handling MPFM measurement consistency between subsea and topside well testing and is especially important for successful use of multiphase installations, especially in the presence of different MPFM measuring or wet gas flow meters. This session will focus on the fluid property data technologies required to maintain an accurate and reliable measurement throughout the life of field. The session will also explore the impact of subsea water – Use of MPFM dynamic response in transient flow assurance applications characterization for offshore gas wells. – Production configuration scenarios: individual wells, commingled wells/ streams, test headers/manifolds • Thallenges and Considerations for MPFM/WGFM Fluid Property Configuration—An Operator’s Perspective – Integration of MPFM with well testing operations; pressure drop (back Matt Zimmerman, BP pressure), test frequency, dynamic response, transient test analysis (rate-pressure convolution) • The Impacts of Measurement: How Measurement is Used Beyond Allocation – Data integration from different sources: modeling techniques, measures Eric Grzelak, OneSubsea of improvement (KPIs) • Practical Challenges in Generating and Deploying Consistent PVT Data – Similarity and dissimilarity of MPFM and VFM - measurement and Daniel Rodriguez, Weatherford modeling, common modes or not so common, complementing roles/backups – MPFM use with VFM: physical flowrate measurement for VFM tuning, or 1700–1830 Pool Deck as an integral part of the VFM model Networking Reception Multiphase and Wet Gas Flow Measurements in Conventional and Unconventional Data Driven Environment Wednesday, 29 January 1300–1500 Grand Ballroom AB 0700–0800 Grand Ballroom Lobby Session 7: What is the Opportunity for Multiphase Flow Continental Breakfast Metering with the Significant Change Over the Last 5 Years: Oil Crisis, LNG & Shale Growth, Digitalization...? 0800–0930 Grand Ballroom AB Session 5: MPFMs in Tight Reservoir Applications Session Chairpersons: Rajan Chokshi, Accutant Solutions Session Chairperson: Nikhil Joshi, Moulinex Energy Chevron ETC Flavia Viana, Bruno Pinguet, TUV SUD National Engineering Laboratory This session will cover current practices and trends in the use of MPFMs for Over the last 30 years, barely 10,000 Multiphase meters have been sold production measurement in tight reservoirs. A panel session will be facilitated worldwide. The trend of acceptance, if slightly higher with time, is not to explore the use of MPFMs as an alternative to traditional well testing, reaching an outstanding sales level. Meanwhile, newcomers are present; this associated challenges and added benefits, and the potential for expanded means that some of the work and knowledge established over the years deployment to sustain larger production of MPMFs at much lower capital cost. were right and some wrong. Multiphase flow is at the core of oil and gas • Benefits of Using MPFM; Offshore and Conventional Reservoir production, how can we gain from the MPFM and WGFM?
