The heart of the system is the venturi section with the dual-energy gamma ray holdup meter.
Our multiphase flowmeter (MPFM) products—all incorporating Vx technology—provide a quicker, more efficient way to test wells. MPFM products provide critical well diagnostic information without complex, conventional testing operations. When used as a permanent monitor of three-phase flow, multiphase meters detect water breakthrough earlier, even in remote locations, reducing field development costs.
Increase your success
Multiphase testing is the continuous rate measurement of a well's individual phases without separation. Use it to improve test data quality and availability. Get quick well performance trend analyses and immediate well diagnostics. Reduce costs per well tested. Realize significant on-site cost savings.
Profit from rapid, accurate production diagnosis
Schlumberger multiphase production well test equipment—whether mobile or permanently installed—is compact, lightweight, and low maintenance. It lets you make timely decisions to increase or decrease a well's production or to plan an intervention. Stop using cumbersome mobile well test units and large, maintenance-intensive test facilities on platforms or at gathering stations.
Go with the multiphase technology leaders
Schlumberger and Framo Engineering merged their technologies and manufacturing expertise in 1998 to create a joint technology center, 3-PHASE Measurements A/S. Today, the center develops Vx multiphase metering technology, manufactures equipment, and supports Schlumberger and Framo Engineering service locations worldwide.
Vx Technology
Vx technology is at the core of all PhaseTester and PhaseWatcher multiphase flowmeters. These meters provide enhancements over conventional testing methods, including superior dynamic responses to fluctuating flows, high-accuracy rate measurements, and unmatched resolution and repeatability.
PhaseTester Gas Mode/PhaseWatcher Gas Mode
Gas Mode extends the range of operation for Vx technology from 0% to 100% gas volume fraction (black oil to dry gas). Switching between modes requires only a mouse click. Gas Mode—the industry's first multiphase measurement hardware applicable to both oil and gas wells—improves safety and accuracy and lowers costs.
