Application of Venturi Wet Gas Flowmeters in an Offshore Environment
This paper explores the application of Dualstream multiphase wet gas flowmeters measurement in offshore environments specifically designed for wet gas service, to continuously measure the flow from each wellhead. It will also show how wet gas corrections applied to the venturi have been verified against the single-phase production train meters, with good agreement over a range of flows.

Deepwater Experience of Dualstream Wet GasMeters in The Gulf of Mexico
Meter applications today tend to fall into two distinct groups, allocation of hydrocarbon revenue or well management. Allocation requirements tend to focus on accurate measurement of hydrocarbon gas and condensate, whereas well management applications typically focus on measurement or trending of water production. There are however many applications where the distinction can be distorted.

Evaluating and Improving Wet Gas Corrections
Solartron ISA have collated an extensive wet gas calibration data set for horizontal subsea and topside Venturi flow meters, including over 5,000 two-phase and three-phase data points from a range of meter sizes (3” to 10”) and beta ratio (0.55 to 0.70). This paper utilizes the data set to provide an independent evaluation of public domain wet gas corrections for horizontal Venturi meters, including those published by Murdock, Chisholm, de Leeuw and in ISO/TR 11583.

Evolution of Wet Gas Venturi Metering and Wet Gas Correction Algorithms
The Venturi meter is a straightforward pipeline device used for the metering of gas and liquids. This article presents a brief summary of the creation and characterization of the modern Venturi meter, including the historic development of public domain algorithms to derive two phase (gas and liquid) flow rates from differential pressure measurements. The use of Venturi meters in multiphase oil and gas flow will also be briefly discussed.

First Field Experience of the Dualstream 2 Wet GasFlowmeter
In response to the high cost and complexity of multiphase meters, as well as to their unsuitability for the measurement of wet gas flow, BG International sponsored a programme of work with Advantica to develop a commercial, low cost, low complexity flow meter for gas-condensate wellstreams. The development began with a concept in 1997, with Solartron ISA becoming involved towards the end of that year as sole licensees of the technology.
