Analytical review of the application of the variable pressure method for measuring the flow rate and amount of associated petroleum gas

Abstract

The purpose of the study: to analyze the measurement of flow and the amount of associated petroleum gas in the fields using the variable pressure method. The object of research is the process of measuring the flow rate and the amount of accompanying petroleum gas. To achieve this goal, the paper sets the task of considering the industrial application of well-established flowmeters for measuring the flow and amount of associated petroleum gas. Scientific hypothesis Under the pressure of economic changes occurring all over the world and environmental requirements, the management companies of oil fields have an acute need to dispose of associated petroleum gas , and thereby its accounting, which is necessary not only in the fields from which it is supplied for technological needs, but also in those fields where it is burned. This will allow you to perform accurate calculations for atmospheric pollution. Research methods. The article provides an analytical review of the use of flow meters for accounting for the amount of associated petroleum gas in fields. The application of variable differential pressure flowmeters, which are widely used in industrial measurements due to their versatility, is considered. As a result of the study, it is concluded that it is advisable pacxooMepoB to use variable pressure flow meters for measuring the flow rate and amount of associated petroleum gas, which are widely used due to their versatility.
