Medición Virtual de Flujo

En una frase

Estimates each well’s oil, water and gas rate continuously from pressure and temperature, between the physical tests.

El problema

A well is physically tested once or twice a month, and that single measurement is carried as the well’s rate for the entire period. Any change in between is invisible, and allocation error accumulates against it.

Cómo funciona

A hybrid model couples a mechanistic multiphase flow calculation across the choke and tubing with a data-driven correction trained on the well’s own test history. Estimates carry uncertainty, and the model reports when it has drifted far enough from the last test to need a new one.

Datos necesarios

  • Wellhead pressure and temperature at high frequency, upstream and downstream of the choke
  • Choke position with a calibrated Cv curve
  • Well test history with test quality flags
  • PVT properties and completion geometry

Qué obtiene

  • Continuous three-phase rate estimate per well with uncertainty band
  • Drift alert recommending a physical test
  • Improved allocation input for the production accounting system

Qué no puede hacer

Virtual metering is a supplement to physical testing, not a replacement for it, and it should never be used as a fiscal measurement. Accuracy degrades when the well moves outside the conditions covered by its test history, particularly during rapid water-cut change, and choke Cv drift on eroded chokes is a persistent source of bias that only recalibration fixes.
