ANALYSIS OF MULTI-PHASE MIXTURES

摘要

Method and apparatus for analysing multi-phase mixtures and particularly for the analysis of the mixture discharge from an oil well, the apparatus including means which may be in the form of a mass flow meter (10, 11) for measuring the mass flow rate and density at one or more points along the flow path and means which may be in the form of a choke valve (13) for causing a characteristic change between two points along the flow path. From the information provided, selected properties of the phases in the mixture can be determined. This method and apparatus can be used for controlling the discharge from an oil well head.
