FIELD: possible use for measuring in real time scale of extracted volumes of components included in composition of multi-phase flow coming in from individual wells, containing oil, gas and water.
SUBSTANCE: measuring system has vortex separator connected to a pair of Coriolis flow meters, providing for measurement of mass flow and density of, respectively, gaseous and liquid components, and also water measuring means in liquid component. Type of measuring device (capacitive, resistive, microwave) is selected dependently on water content in oil well production. Water density is measured by hydrometer in water sample taken by water separator. Data pertaining to density and content of water, and also density of liquid component are received in adjuster for determining calculated density of liquid component.
EFFECT: improved precision of measurements due to performing all measurements at actual extraction conditions by means of fully automatic compact system.
