Engineering company Emerson has launched the Roxar 2600 multiphase flow meter performance monitoring service, an IIoT-enabled connected services to support multiphase flow meters in unconventional shale
The service provides operators with recommendations to optimise meter performance and enable proactive maintenance, based on advanced, continuous data collected from an onsite multiphase flow meter and analysed remotely by Emerson’s experts.
Specifically, the service delivers performance monitoring of Emerson’s Roxar 2600 multiphase flow meters, which have been used in the oil and gas industry for more than 25 years to accurately measure well production rates.
The Roxar 2600 multiphase flow meter platform offers solutions for well testing, unmanned wellhead platforms, production metering, wellhead monitoring, and shale oil applications.
Emerson said the service utilises secure connectivity architectures for the safe transfer of data from the flow meter to the cloud where it can be analysed. This enables issues to be identified without having to send personnel to the field and before they become larger problems that impact production.
Periodic performance reports, regular ongoing data sharing, and evaluation of meter performance provide operators with a complete overview of operational continuity, while also forming the foundation of a proactive planned site activity and maintenance strategy.
The monitoring of multiphase flow meters is the latest service in an expanding portfolio of remote monitoring solutions for equipment and processes offered through connected services. Connected services are Emerson service offerings where data is collected from critical equipment and securely sent to Emerson experts so that they can make actionable recommendations to enable proactive and predictive maintenance.
The service is part of the company’s Plantweb digital ecosystem, a scalable portfolio of technologies, software and services that enable performance improvement through the digital transformation of operations.
