Optimising oil and gas production with FourPhase's multiphase metering and desanders: A Holistic Approach
At FourPhase, we've integrated multiphase meters into our product lineup. Together with our innovative desanding equipment this synergy brings operators a host of benefits.
Multiphase metering can transform the production process and deliver immediate advantages for operators. Any number of production streams can be analysed in real-time for all 4 phases: Oil, gas, water and sand, giving operators a reliable snapshot of streams, and the raw data they need for planning optimal production flow.

A shift from test separators to streamlined measurements
Platforms are equipped with test separators that analyse the production flow composition for each well in turn for a given period. For platforms producing from any number of wells simultaneously, this results in a time-intensive schedule of rerouting one well after the other to the test separator.
Our new multiphase meters, however, revolutionise this approach. Multiphase meters are installed before the production manifold, allowing individual measurement of the well without the need for routing through the test separator during well start-up and optimisation. This saves time-consuming rerouting procedures and frees capacity on the test separator. In some cases, test separators can even be eliminated, saving on deck space and reducing potential points of failure or the need for mobilisation.

The value of understanding the Fourth phase
What sets FourPhase apart is our commitment to providing data on all fronts. Our desanders and multiphase meters in tandem go beyond the conventional three phases, encompassing oil, gas, water - and the fourth phase, sand. This comprehensive approach provides operators with continuous and reliable real-time insights into the entire spectrum of their production flow.
Sand is not merely an afterthought; it's a crucial component of the production flow. Measuring sand rate allows operators to fine-tune well production based on predefined parameters of acceptable sand rates per well. This not only aids in maintaining the well's overall integrity but also facilitates optimal Production Flow Recovery from FourPhase’s market-leading desanding products. By producing sand to the surface wells have become more permeable, allowing for higher production levels.
A notable advantage of our approach is the consolidation of data. By integrating multiphase meters into our intervention equipment and product eco system, we provide operators with a centralized hub for all critical data. All information you need about the well flow is integrated into our digital dashboard. This, in essence, transforms FourPhase into a one-stop shop for all well-related information, offering operational efficiency and cost savings at a unique interface downstream the wellhead.

Proven performance
Our commitment to excellence is evident in the success stories we've accrued from implementing multiphase meters. Two cases of test measurements on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) and the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) underscore the reliability and effectiveness of our multiphase meters in real-world operational environments, as this case study proves.
Our Roxar 2600 multiphase meters from Emerson find their sweet spots in wells where operators have limited data but require a swift assessment of the production flow. This is particularly relevant for shut-in or choked-back wells, where the ability to read phases and sand content during start-up is invaluable. FourPhase aims to aid operators in reviving production and maximizing the utilization of existing resources, also during well intervention operations. With the MPFM implemented we can offer our customers with extended data sets. Reducing time and cost by offering a complete overview of the oil, gas, and water rates as it providing a better understanding and decision basis for ongoing intervention operations.
The Roxar multiphase meters use tried and tested technology with high-precision sensors and state-of-the-art software. They are calibrated regularly to provide industry-grade measurements that can indicate the fluid composition and, therefore the monetary value of the well stream.
In summary, integrating a multiphase metering into our product lineup, combined with our de-sanding equipment, presents a compelling solution for oil and gas operators. The ability to measure all four phases, including sand content in real-time, provides operators with a holistic view of their production flow, empowering them to make informed decisions and achieve optimal well performance. As a one-stop-shop for production flow data and actual management, FourPhase positions itself as a valuable partner in achieving Production Flow Recovery for its clients.
