Review of metering and gas measurements in high-volume shale gas wells

Abstract Coriolis, turbine, V-cone, and orifice meters have been used in measurement of gas production shale wells. Flange-tapped concentric are commonly volumes due to their low cost, accuracy, ease maintenance compared other types meters. However, wells producing at high flow rates, pressure, possibly compositions change, which might affect volumetric accuracy that was developed for conventional Thus, it is critical investigate the metering measurements technologies being applied further understand improve measurements. This paper provides a comprehensive review analysis background information, design, measurement, uncertainties associated with Coriolis meters, turbine V-cone We also discussed lessons learned through our field experiences computing using SCADA information production.
