OIL WELL OUTPUT MEASURING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: measuring equipment, particularly to locate fluid leaks, intrusions, or movements.

SUBSTANCE: device has multithrow product switch having a number of inlets corresponding to a number of oil wells and two outlets. One outlet is used to direct product obtained from one well to measure output thereof. Another one is connected to common oil field manifold. Product output is determined by means of flow meters, which measure flows of liquid and gas and installed in each pipeline correspondingly at vertical reservoir outlet from top and bottom thereof. Product is supplied into reservoir through side tangential connection pipe arranged in cylindrical reservoir part at transition part which connects cylindrical and conical reservoir parts. Sensor, which determines presence of liquid droplets in gas flow and throttle valve are located between reservoir and gas flow meter. The sensor operates the throttle valve through controller.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of gas-and-liquid components of product obtained from the well and simplified operation.
