ADVANCED FLOW RATE MEASUREMENT USING CHEMICAL PROSPECTOR OF OIL AND GAS PRODUCERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18045675 titled 'ADVANCED FLOW RATE MEASUREMENT USING CHEMICAL PROSPECTOR OF OIL AND GAS PRODUCERS
Simplified Explanation
The system described in the patent application is designed to identify and quantify fluids in a gas-oil separation plant conduit using prospector spool apparatus with porous layers containing prospector molecules that have chemical affinity for oil, gas, or water.
- The system includes a first and second wellhead, flowlines, prospector spool apparatus, a header, and a collection point.
- The prospector spool apparatus contains prospector molecules that diffuse into fluid flow to identify and quantify the different fluids.
- The method involves flowing fluids from different wells through the prospector spool apparatus, allowing them to commingle, and then collecting and analyzing the commingled fluid for quantitative and qualitative analysis.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in oil and gas production facilities to accurately identify and quantify different fluids in the separation process.
Problems Solved
This system solves the problem of accurately identifying and quantifying fluids in a gas-oil separation plant conduit, which is crucial for efficient operation and maintenance of the facility.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in fluid identification and quantification, leading to better decision-making in the management of gas-oil separation plants.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include oil and gas production companies looking to optimize their separation processes for increased efficiency and productivity.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of traditional methods such as sampling and laboratory analysis to identify and quantify fluids in gas-oil separation plants.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for identifying and quantifying a fluid in a gas-oil separation plant conduit includes a first wellhead and a second wellhead, a first flowline, a first prospector spool apparatus and a second prospector spool apparatus, a header, and a collection point. The first and the second prospector spool apparatus each include a porous layer with a prospector molecule. The prospector molecule has chemical affinity for oil, gas, or water, and is configured to diffuse into fluid flow. A method includes providing a system, producing a first fluid from a first well and a second fluid from a second well, flowing the first fluid through the first prospector spool apparatus and the second fluid through the second prospector spool apparatus, allowing the first fluid and the second fluid to commingle, collecting a sample of and analyzing the commingled fluid to provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis.
