WET GAS METERING WITH A HORIZONTALLY INSTALLED VENTURI METER
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.
