Metering Skid

Metering Skid 

 

Problems

As the worldwide demand for oil and gas increases, deep water offshore explorations are facing tough times as they require heavy capital expenses, burdened by reduction in production operation expense budgets and compounded by Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) requirements while maintaining the companies’ goals for a ‘greener image’.

This raises standards of operations even higher, demands placed on accurate hydrocarbon measurement with minimal maintenance and space and weight requirements become ever increasingly greater. All these tips the balance of managing operations within thin margins.

 

Roles & Responsibilities

For mission-critical applications, the solution is designed to run in totally redundant operations. During automatic sampling, the water-cut monitor and divert valve helps protect the pipeline against delivery of “contaminated oil”.

Apart from hardware, the local software control system has an interface to integrate with higher level information systems. The control system works from basic designing to site commissioning which includes delivery of control and administration system and/or integration into existing systems. It also has remote access capabilities to supervisory system for centralized reporting and maintenance. The key value here is to ensure consistent billing procedures that assures all condensate quantities are accurately measured, therefore, allowing the operator to precisely determine all the produced condensate loads received and processed.
