Subsea Wetgas Drives Advanced Technology Solutions
The Roxar Subsea Wetgas Meter is specifically designed for gas condensate fields and has an unparalleled install base
As the industry evolves and faces new challenges, Emerson is continuously developing and improving its measurement
solutions. As an answer to the current and future industry requirements, Emerson now offers the latest generation Roxar Subsea
Wetgas Meter, providing an optimal solution with no technology compromises.The Roxar Subsea Wetgas Meter has an unparalleled 15-years track record in some of the world’s most challenging wet gas fields all over the world.
The Roxar Subsea Wetgas Meter (SWGM) addresses the following operator challenges related to formation water breakthrough:
There are field examples where the period from formation of water breakthrough, to hydrate growth and build-up and pipeline plugging is less than 20 minutes. Therefore, rapid, highly sensitive measurements are needed to capture the critical time window of a hydrate plug forming in order to take remedial actions to save the well. The Roxar Subsea Wetgas Meter has the ability to instantaneously measure extremely small changes in water volume fraction, as little as ± 0.00002 % (0.2 ppm).
The lack of real-time accurate hydrocarbon
measurements impacts allocation strategies and obligations. There is a need for a meter that provides accurate and robust measurements across multiple reservoir conditions. Only Emerson has dedicated subsea wetgas meters that address application specific challenges
Case study offshore Egypt: Installation of Roxar Subsea Wetgas Meters has helped the operator to monitor water production profiles in real-time. By providing early warnings of the water produced, meters installed on the field have helped the operator and its partners save several wells from water breakthrough. It has also provided the operator with the necessary information to optimize the performance of its wells, leading to increased availability.
