The expediency of usage of "Spectr-M" multi-phase flow metering unit for measuring high-viscous oil
The paper gives the argumentation of impossibility to perform valid measurements of high-viscous crude oil by using of separation-type measuring installations. The error of measurement, which can occur due to the incomplete separation of gas, has been estimated. A new technological solution of the problem of high-viscous oil measurement has been proposed. The operational principle and the utilization field of "Spectr-M" multi-phase flow measuring installation are described. The suitability and the possibility of usage this type of installations in the field of measuring the amount of oil wells production in a wide range of measurement conditions are shown.
