Looking for water cut sensors

Looking for water cut sensors

Looking for water cut sensors

(OP)
Hello,

i have nothing to do with petroleum production up to now, but yet i have the task to find full range water cut meters for a crude oil well. Best to install them on the well-head as an online measurement tool.

Please help me to get informations about this.
which manufacturer is good?
Which probes are good without recalibrating or cleaning too often?


Thanks for all.

Greetings from Germany

RE: Looking for water cut sensors

I have had several clients use Agar, Roxar, and Drexelbrook water cut meters.

As I am not in production, or work for a producer, I don't have first hand knowledge of their maintenance requirements. I am going by the fact that my clients still buys them.

RE: Looking for water cut sensors

AGAR and PHASE DYNAMICS are the two leaders in this field that require least re-calibration and maintenance. Look for radio frequency or microwave devices that are not affected by coatings.

RE: Looking for water cut sensors

We use both Roxar and Phase dynamics. Roxar is generally good for Higher water concentrations (0-100%) and Phase dynamics work better with lower water concentration (0-10%). Typically, Phase Dynamics require more maintenance than Roxar.

RE: Looking for water cut sensors

The Expro Group produce a downhole, full fraction water cut meter. (Although this technology may have gone to Quantx, part of the Baker Hughes Inteq group of companies)Advantageous when you need to determine water cut contributions in a multilateral well or where you have comingled well fluids in a subsea development.  

RE: Looking for water cut sensors

I used to work for one of the mentioned companies.  What is important to remember is that the meter will measure what is inside it.  If it is scaled or waxed or if there is waterhold up in that section this will influence the readings and the readings will not be represenatative.  This applies to all kinds of meters.  
Search wikipedia for watercut and you will get more details and links to different vendors.
