Continuous multiphase flow metering in all well conditions

The Vx Spectra™ surface multiphase flowmeter (MPFM) is our flagship SLB MPFM based on rugged Vx™ multiphase well testing technology. The Vx Spectra flowmeter delivers continuous, accurate, and repeatable measurements in a wide range of production environments—all the way to high-rate oil and wet gas wells. Using advanced full-gamma spectroscopy, our surface multiphase flowmeter accurately captures multiphase flow dynamics, so you can determine flow rates without the need for separation and get full visibility on your well performance.

  • Surface well testing (onshore or offshore)
  • Continuous production monitoring
  • Fiscal allocation and custody transfer
  • Well performance evaluation
  • Artificial lift system surveillance
  • Flow rate measurement in unstable, foaming, or emulsion-prone wells and in low-rate producers
  • Production flow measurement for resources ranging from heavy oils to gas condensates

Real-time measurements, real-time insights

The superior metrological performance of every flowmeter is extensively tested and verified throughout the build process, including final flow checks in our state-of-the-art flow loop laboratory at our Singapore multiphase manufacturing facility and Well Test Technology Center.

The compact, configurable Vx Spectra flowmeter uses full-gamma spectroscopy to accurately capture multiphase flow dynamics for real-time monitoring and analysis.
