Venturi choke
Venturi choke
(OP)
Hello,
I m using multiphase flow meters to measure well production and in several cases I could not reach the well head pressure needed (even at fully open production choke) due to the choking cause by venturi of the multiphase flow meter
In order to select properly my venturi size and well head choke size and I m looking for the equivalent choke size of the venturi
Thanks

Different meters are better for different types of GOR.
Did you just use an existing meter or get them bespoke?

Thank you for your feedback
Actually the well is flowing within the operating envelope of the multiphase meter no issue on that side and the pressure drop is not that high. My concern is the choking effect of the venturi indeed when we by pass the multiphase meter we reach a well head pressure of around 200 psi (choke fully open) however when we flow the well through the meter the minimum pressure at the well head is around 270 psi (choke fully open) we tried different size of multiphase meter with venturi of 50MM and 67MM same problem
So im wondering how can I estimate or calculate the choking effect of the venturi in order to avoid such problem in the future and select correct meter size
Thank you
