Multiphase Flow Meters Supporting Flow Assurance Goals
The Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter offers many useful data points, providing useful flow assurance insights
Utilizing Multiphase Flow Meters in Your Flow Assurance Journey
Maintaining the integrity of piping and operations is a key concern, and gaining insights into flow assurance risks can be challenging at times. The more data points available to support flow assurance efforts, the better. With the Roxar 2600 Multiphase Flow Meter, you can be assured of an instrument mechanically suitable for even the most sour of environments. In addition, the meter provides data relating to wax or scale build-up. In coordination with the Roxar Multiphase Salinity System and the Roxar Acoustic Sand Monitor, insights are provided related to changes in water conductivity and sand production rates respectively.

The Roxar Multiphase Salinity System provides sensitive and real-time measurements of the conductivity and salinity of produced water in multiphase production wells. Together with the Roxar Multiphase Meter, this enables operators to obtain saline independent multiphase measurements, take immediate remedial action to improve flow assurance (optimizing corrosion, erosion and scale inhibitors), minimize water coning, and maximize oil & gas production.
- Real-time continuous outputs of water conductivity and salinity.
- Low uncertainty (+/-0.5 abs Siemens/meter) and a large operating range for the enhancement of multiphase meter measurements.
- Compact design consisting of pipe spool and flow computer mounted upstream of the meter for easy installation and flexibility.
Roxar SAM Acoustic Sand Monitor is a non-intrusive sensor that provides real-time production sand information, allowing increased oil & gas production rates and less topside erosion events. The referenced instrument is based on acoustic technology and proprietary algorithms that translate the sand noise into actionable data. The Roxar SAM provides an immediate response to sand production that allows production flow adjustment, sand separator efficiency monitoring and other onshore and offshore upstream applications. The referenced instrument data can be enhanced further with Roxar SandLog and / or Permasense corrosion and erosion monitors.
- Non-intrusive, easy to install
- Easy to understand sand intensity and quantification data
- Sand quantification when combined with sand injection calibration
Uncertainty
+/– 5% (with sand injection calibration)
Particle Detection
Typically from 15 µm (gas) and 25 µm (liquid)
Flow Velocity
Minimum 1 m/s
Achieving first oil and first flow is challenging. FIRST-FLOW
TMDelivery Assurance ensures 100% functionality of subsea equipment at start-up, reduces risk of delay and minimizes communication issues that cause costly downtime.
-
Deploy your subsea instrumentation with confidence. FIRST-FLOW™ Delivery Assurance leverages the expertise and knowledge of our engineers, the EPC, and your team to ensure 100% functionality of subsea equipment at start-up.
Achieving first oil and first-flow can be challenging. FIRST-FLOW Delivery Assurance speeds and simplifies the process. From pre-commissioning that verifies all instruments are fully functional and calibrated to system integration, testing and commissioning, FIRST-FLOW Delivery Assurance ensures trouble free start-up, with a focus on dynamic performance and redundancy.
Following each transport leg and storage period, a visual inspection of the instrument takes place that includes a check on shock indicators, followed by verification of the meter’s functionality. Furthermore, welding of the instrumentation and the insulation process is supervised by Emerson personnel. A full instrument functionality test is completed both prior to and after the instrument is welded into the system.
With FIRST-FLOW Delivery Assurance, you:- Achieve maximum value from your investment
- Reduce risk of start-up delay
- Increase reliability and operational efficiency
- More quickly achieve first-flow, production and revenue
