Monitoring production of a fluid through a production separator train

摘要

A method of modelling/monitoring production through a production separator train involves determining a scaling factor to convert a measured property of production fluid such that the converted measure property is expressed in terms of it having been passed through a reference separator train and applying said scaling factor to a measured property of said production fluid. The step of determining a scaling factor may comprise creating models of the production separator train and of a reference separator train. These models are then used to determine a property of the production fluid subsequent to it passing through the production separator train, and a property of a production fluid subsequent to it passing through the reference separator train.
