Measuring Areas in Upstream
Reservoir pressure and flow monitoring: Measuring the flow rates of oil and gas from drilled wells is essential for evaluating reservoir productivity and refining extraction strategies.
Mudflow measurement: During drilling, flow meters monitor the flow of mud used to cool and lubricate the drill bit, ensuring efficient drilling and preserving the integrity of the wellbore.
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR): Accurate flow measurement is essential for monitoring water or chemical injection rates in techniques like hydraulic fracturing, ensuring optimized recovery and cost reduction.
Pipeline leak detection: Flow meters are essential for detecting even minor leaks in pipelines carrying valuable oil and gas, playing a vital role in both environmental protection and cost management. They help identify irregularities that may signal potential leaks.
