WET GAS METERING WITH A HORIZONTALLY INSTALLED VENTURI METER
Richard Steven
Abstract:
Wet Gas Metering is becoming increasingly important to the Natural Gas Production Industry as "Wet Gas" flows are becoming more common in the field and the addition of a field separator is prohibitively expensive. "Wet Gas" is defined here as all flows with a Gas Volume Fractions greater than 95%. There is no agreement in industry to which wet gas metering method is best. Of all the published two-phase flow Differential Pressure (DP) Meter correlations this research has shown seven to be of possible relevance. This paper uses new independent data to compare their performance. Finally, a new correlation is offered.
