Abstract

This paper describes the dynamic performance test results of an improved method previously developed in a benchtop test [1]. The performance test was done on a dynamic flow test facility using a light crude oil and salt water, and it was carried out as a part of an overall assessment of the performance of 7 different water cut analyzers (WCA).

The dynamic performance test consisted of gathering and analyzing spot samples from an oil/water mixture flowing through a test section in the flow loop. This testing simulated the field application of using the previously developed improved method[1] to field verify a WCA with water cuts ranging from 15 % to 95 %. Results with two different water salinities and with gas injected into the flowing stream are included in this manuscript.

改进的油水混合、处理和高含水样品分析方法的性能测试

本文介绍了先前在台式试验[1]中开发的改进方法的动态性能测试结果。性能测试是在一个使用轻质原油和盐水的动态流动测试设备上进行的，并作为7种不同含水率分析仪（WCA）性能总体评估的一部分。动态性能测试包括收集和分析流动回路中流过测试段的油水混合物的现场样品。该测试模拟了使用先前开发的改进方法[1]的现场应用，以现场验证含水率在15%至95%之间的WCA。结果与两种不同的水的盐度和气体注入流动的流包括在这个手稿。

期刊介绍： Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results on all aspects of flow measurement, in both closed conduits and open channels. The design of flow measurement systems involves a wide variety of multidisciplinary activities including modelling the flow sensor, the fluid flow and the sensor/fluid interactions through the use of computation techniques; the development of advanced transducer systems and their associated signal processing and the laboratory and field assessment of the overall system under ideal and disturbed conditions. FMI is the essential forum for critical information exchange, and contributions are particularly encouraged in the following areas of interest: Modelling: the application of mathematical and computational modelling to the interaction of fluid dynamics with flowmeters, including flowmeter behaviour, improved flowmeter design and installation problems. Application of CAD/CAE techniques to flowmeter modelling are eligible. Design and development: the detailed design of the flowmeter head and/or signal processing aspects of novel flowmeters. Emphasis is given to papers identifying new sensor configurations, multisensor flow measurement systems, non-intrusive flow metering techniques and the application of microelectronic techniques in smart or intelligent systems. Calibration techniques: including descriptions of new or existing calibration facilities and techniques, calibration data from different flowmeter types, and calibration intercomparison data from different laboratories. Installation effect data: dealing with the effects of non-ideal flow conditions on flowmeters. Papers combining a theoretical understanding of flowmeter behaviour with experimental work are particularly welcome.
