MB Petroleum Services (MBPS) has announced that it is the first company in the Middle East to develop and commercially test an accurate full range (liquid and gas) multiphase flow meter.
The MB flow master, designed and assembled within the MB research and development (R&D) department, is a commercial multiphase flow meter based on separation technology. It uses state-of-the-art technology to separate 100 per cent gas from the liquid (two phases oil and water) to measure the gas and liquid flow rates, water cuts, gas-oil-ratios, pressures and temperatures.
Based on individual client requirements, the flow master is the first ever fully functional commercial multiphase flow meter to be developed in the GCC and possibly in the MENA region. It has been successfully tested in more than 72 oil wells in Occidental and Daleel Petroleum fields across Oman.
Eamon Gorman, Group CEO, MB Petroleum Services, said, "The advantages of MB flow master over other multiphase flow meters is that it does not use any radioactive source to determine the flow measurements, hence is safer to handle, operate and does not require special permits for transportation through public areas. We are very happy and proud to be pioneering this technology in the Middle East."
