MPFM 50 Series Features
The AGAR MPFM-50 is a multiphase flow meter that provides on-line, real-time well production information for
the entire production flow stream. There is no longer a need for expensive, secondary equipment such as phase
separators and pumps. The MPFM-50 Series is fully self-contained and compact for use in rugged field conditions
and can easily be trailer mounted for portable service.
In many applications, multiphase measurement is required where the gas void fraction is less then 25%. These
applications can be found in mature fields with very low GOR, the liquid leg of inefficient separators and heavy
oil fields. In these types of applications, a low cost, accurate meter is required. With todays Coriolis flow meter
technology, mass flow rate and density can be measured accurately with up to 25% gas in the flow stream. The
combination of this new generation Coriolis flow meter and the AGAR microwave water cut meter provides a low
cost accurate multiphase flow meter that can measure oil, water and gas without separation of the production
stream. The AGAR oil/water monitor with microwave technology provides the capability for measuring water cuts
from 0-100% even in the presence of changing salinities.
The Mass Flow Meter is a Coriolis type meter that accurately measures the total mass flow and the total
density (gas and liquid). This meter is selected from a range of commercially available products with proven
field records. The mass flow and density data is fed into the MPFM Data Analysis System (DAS), which
performs calculations for the multiphase measurement.
The AGAR Watercut Meter (OW-201) is a microwave-based oil/water monitor. The OW-201 uses a
microwave transmitter operating at over 2 Gigahertz to measure bulk electrical properties of the flow stream.
Engineering advances allow the OW-201 to measure water content accurately over the full range of 0-100%
in both oil and water-continuous phases. Accuracy is not affected by changes in velocity, salinity, pH, viscosity,
temperature or density. Watercut data is fed into the MPFM DAS.
The AGAR Data Analysis System (DAS) performs on-line analysis of data acquired from the above
subsystems to determine the oil, water, gas, and total fluid flow rates. It also supports a variety of PVT
calculations that convert the process conditions to standard conditions.
