Texaco Watercut Monitor – Microwave Based Technology
Abstract
The patented Texaco Microwave Watercut Monitor is a new technology ready for field applications for the continuous measurement of the percent water in crude production streams over the entire 0 to 100% range. Measurement accuracy is maintained despite changes in temperature, salinity, crude properties and the presence of gas. The monitor can continuously report emulsion status (water- or oil-continuous), effective NaCl salinity and effective paraffin carbon number of the hydrocarbon phase. Operator interaction is minimized by automatic features such as auto-calibration, unattended operation at remote locations, long-term data storage in non-volatile memory, remote access options through SCADA systems and self-starting after power outages. Safe operation in oilfield locations is assured by the design which has been approved by Factory Mutual Research for use in Class 1, Division 1 areas. This presentation will cover the features of this new technology.
