METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING GAS LOSS IN GAS-LIQUID MIXTURES Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: oil extractive industry.

SUBSTANCE: mixture is separated on liquid and gas in separator. Liquid is periodically collected and forced away by gas while measuring absolute pressure and gas temperature in separator tank near upper and lower fixed liquid levels, and times of forcing away of fixed liquid volume. Additionally measured are absolute pressure and temperature in moment when liquid reaches intermediate fixed level. Then liquid is forced from intermediate fixed level to lower fixed level separator is switched off from well, and mass loss of gas is calculated from provided relation. Device for realization of method consists of separator with feeding pipe, in which a three-drive valve is mounted, and draining pipe, which through said valve is connected to liquid outlet channel and to gas outlet channel. Separator is provided with sensors of temperature and pressure and sensors of upper, intermediate and lower levels, mounted in such a manner, that they separate fixed volumes between each other in separator tank, in case of equality of which calculations are simplified.

EFFECT: higher precision.
