Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper reviews multiphase flow meter development for application in the oil industry against basic theoretical concepts involved in the flow measurements. Several metering concepts for the mass flow rate measurement of oil/water/gas mixtures in oil pipelines have been proposed. Determination of components' volumetric fraction is an integral and essential part of such a meter and reported methods of its measurement are also reviewed here. Although a number of multiphase flow concepts have been patented and a number of prototype models built, no extensive field trials of a multiphase flow meter have been reported.
