18 Apr Success Story
A client requested to flash a bottom-hole-sample to determine the oil/water cut on a heavy-oil well. The interceptor flasher or the BSW&Gas developed by Fieldpvt was connected to the transfer bottle with the bottom-hole-sample in it, valves were opened up and a balanced flow of liquid and gas observed. Readings were taken.
The outcome; all volatile droplets were caught, the gas volume, total liquid recovery (GLR) were immediately measured and the oil-water analysed to be able to give GOR, GWR and the OWR. The immediate, on-site information helped plan the next work-over operations, saving time.
The safety aspect was that the H2S gas was conducted away from the immediate vicinity of the operator.
