Multiphase metering flow meters (MPFM) are being accepted more and more in oil and gas developments, replacing test separators, particularly on fields with large well networks. This is the case with Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) oil sands developments requiring large capital investment that need accurate production and reservoir data and have difficult processing techniques. This data includes: 1. Real time measurement: good reservoir and steam chamber monitoring and steam injection versus oil production surveys. 2. Cost reduction: steam oil ratio (SOR) optimisation, due to the economic and environmental cost of steam. 3. Asset integrity: mitigation of the risk of steam breakthrough in oil producer wells.
