What is it about?

This research presents a concise account of offshore surface well test from objective, organization, to practical approach and in relation to orifice metering system of natural gas; against the perspective of regulatory standards. With reference to reliability, availability, affordability and including control measures governing the design, the orifice meter sometimes called a head loss flow meter is chosen most often because of its reputation in the oil and gas industry.

Why is it important?

The orifice metering system has served industry well over the years, and it will continue to do so in applications that do not require wide range of now, and can afford shutdown or by-pass lines. In other applications, predominantly metering for energy accountability, innovative metering system with actual or observed volume flow meters should be applied.

Perspectives

The justification for designing or proposing the use of these innovative metering systems over traditional gas metering systems are based on improved materials that reduced eroding rate, installation and calibration/maintenance cost.
