Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas metering technology, and is a natural gas wellhead metering calibration device and method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, natural gas well production development mostly employs fracturing, and the products are primarily three-phase mixtures of oil, gas, and water. Due to the high initial pressure (nearly 10 MPa) of gas wells in Xinjiang oilfields, and the lack of suitable wellhead metering methods, individual gas wells are generally not metered. In recent years, with the commercialization of multiphase flow metering, multiphase flow meters have begun to be installed at a few wellheads. However, multiphase flow is affected by numerous factors such as temperature and pressure within pipelines, raising questions about its accuracy and making calibration of multiphase fluids impossible.
