Abstract
The paper describes the main stages of the development of a method for assessing the relevance of fluid models used in multiphase flowmetering.
The main results of the study:
- The quantitative characteristics of the influence of the physical and chemical properties of the phases and their complex effect on the flow rates measurement by MPFM have been determined.
- An algorithm has been developed for predicting changes in the properties of linear fluids depending on reservoir pressure to compare the current properties of gas and condensate with properties estimated in the current MPFM fluid model.
- An automated tool has been created to evaluate the applied MPFM fluid models.
The developed tool allows one to evaluate the current measurement error, make a conclusion on the relevance of the applied model and give a warning on the need to update it. The tool allows you to schedule the necessary model updates, avoiding research redundancy and optimizing production costs.
Key words:
fluid models, Fluids ID, multiphase flowmeter, gas condensate studies, PVT properties of reservoir fluids, fluid production metering
