KROHNE presents the webinar “Why did a major oil producer choose new mass fl owmeter technology?” on January 26, 2017, 10:00 AM EST (7 AM PST), aimed at operators of upstream and downstream oil fl ow applications.
The webinar will present the case study of Denver-based Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. The exploration and production company is focused on extracting oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas in Colorado’s Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas fi eld that is being actively developed through the use of horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracture stimulation.
They required an accurate and reliable way to measure how much oil and water each well was producing. Tank gauging is the standard method for these challenging applications, but while simple and relatively accurate, tank gauging is time consuming, costly, and entails some safety risks. To account for the production variations among the wells and provide accurate well allocation measurement information, each well on a pad had to fl ow into a separate tank.
Bonanza Creek was looking for a cost effective alternative way to provide an accurate oil meter at each wellhead, where the oil fl ows into a separator that separates the water, gas, and oil. They anticipated there would be gas entrained in the fl uid coming out of the separator, so they needed an option that could handle entrained gas. This webinar reviews the application requirements and explore the unique details of the OPTIMASS mass fl ow meter technology that allow the device to operate continually regardless of entrained gas content, to 100% by volume.

Leading the Way in Meeting New ISO 5167-5 Cone Meter Standard
49 New Webinar “Why Did a Major Oil Producer Choose New Mass Flowmeter Technology?”
NEL, the fl ow measurement specialist, has completed a major upgrade of its Densitometer Calibration Facility – the only independent calibration facility of this type in the UK.
The newly upgraded test facility will signifi cantly reduce instrument testing turnaround times by 30 per cent. The facility’s enhanced capabilities allow greater fl exibility for helping companies that require emergency assistance with calibration and testing.
The Densitometer Calibration Facility has been designed to more accurately simulate real installation conditions, calibrating densitometers at their anticipated production and processing conditions. This will deliver signifi cant benefi ts for the oil industry, as inaccurate measurements can leave operators vulnerable to legal disputes and fi nancial
exposure.The facility’s extended operating pressure range now runs from 1 to 151 bar, while the operating temperature range runs from 5°C to 100°C. The facility can also maintain temperature consistency at better than +/-0.005°C.
Norman Glen, Principal Consultant at NEL, said: “Densitometers are the cash registers of the oil industry, so our investment is vitally important to both operators and industry regulators, which want to be assured of accurate fi nancial reporting, fair trade and taxation.
“The upgrade will allow us to complete complex tests more effi ciently, reducing both lead times and test durations, enabling us to be more responsive to short notice test and certifi cation requests. Our new upgrade will allow us to offer this essential service to a wider range of operators, and we will continue to invest in the facility to extend its operating range and increase its throughput whilst ensuring the highest accuracy,” concluded Glen.
The Densitometer Calibration Facility upgrade forms part of NEL’s strategic development programme to make it the facility of choice for both vendors and operators. NEL’s Flow Measurement Facilities in Glasgow are the primary fl ow measurement standard for the UK, under the UK’s National Measurement System (NMS). The NMS is the UK’s national infrastructure of measurement laboratories which delivers world-class measurement science and technology. It provides traceable and accurate standards of measurement for use in industry, academia and government.

With decades of proven performance, the innovative V-Cone Flow Meter from McCrometer conforms to the new industry standard ISO 5167 Part 5: Cone Meters , which helps engineers make better informed decisions about cone fl ow meters in the same way that they’ve relied on Parts 1-4 for other types of differential pressure (dP) meters.
“We’re proud to have assisted in developing this new ISO standard for cone meters, which is something that our customers have been requesting for years,” said Nick Voss, General Manager of McCrometer‘s Oil, Gas & Industrial Process business unit.
“With multiple suppliers making various claims, our customers have long wanted the International Standards Organization to provide them with assurance about cone meter accuracy claims and installation requirements,” Voss said.
McCrometer’s V-Cone meter, Voss explained, already conforms to the American Petroleum Institute’s API 22.2 Testing Protocol for Differential Pressure Flow Devices. It also is certifi able to local or regional standards including: Measurement Canada, INMETRO, GOST and others.
“With ISO, there is now a second respected global standard for cone meters, which explains their principle of operation, the differing performance accuracy of calibrated versus uncalibrated meters and their minimal straight pipe run installation requirements,” Voss said.
The new ISO 5167-5 standard confi rms that uncalibrated cone meters perform at no better than ±5% accuracy. Laboratory calibrated cone meters, such as the V-Cone meter, are accurate to ±0.5%, which is a signifi cant performance difference.
In addition, the new standard includes a groundbreaking section, providing explicit guidance on how to calibrate a cone meter. This includes a recommendation that each fl ow meter is calibrated in laboratories accredited to the ISO17025 standard. McCrometer operates one of only six fl ow labs in the USA accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 through NVLAP.
Finally, ISO 5167-5 verifi es cone meters can be installed with a straight pipe run of only 0-3 diameters upstream and 0-1 diameters downstream. This feature is useful in crowded locations or where space and weight are a concern such as offshore platforms and vessels.
