Red Eye® Multiphase Metering Systems (REMMS) Applications

Production Testing

REMMS replaces conventional two- and three-phase test separators with an automated system incorporating higher capacity and efficiency per footprint and weight. Due to the short residence time in the REMMS separator, well test time may be shortened, enabling the operator to have the latest well performance data. Turn-down ratios from 40:1 with single meters and up to 100:1 with multiple meters can be achieved.

Individual Well Monitoring

Weatherford continuous well testing systems can also be used to monitor individual wells. This data can then be used to optimize gas-lift, water, or steam-flood injection rates, or any artificial lift system. Most importantly, this continuous data can be used to optimize the yield from the entire reservoir, maximizing the company’s return on its investment. When REMMS is installed at each wellhead, the operator has real time production data, which can be used to provide more accurate statements of production, allocation, and payment of petroleum royalties. Networking the wells offers a tremendous savings in piping costs and instrumentation.

Customer Specific Requirements

Weatherford’s units are built per customer’s specifications. They can be designed to meet client’s expectations in terms of size, metering options, accuracy, redundancy, and integration with other existing equipment such as choke valves or MPSVs. REMMS’ mechanical design can be modified if there are any space constraints and the operating software can be customized to add inputs from any additional instruments that might be required to provide a successful well testing solution for a particular application.
