KROHNE flowmeters are widely used in the oil and gas industry：

Crude oil production

• Well production measurement: In the multi-phase flow measurement of the produced fluid from the well, the Cologne multiphase flow meter can accurately measure the respective flow rates of crude oil, water and natural gas, which helps engineers to understand the production status of the well, such as determining the change in production rate and the increase in water cut, so that measures can be taken to improve the recovery rate.

• Injected fluid metering: When water and polymer solutions are injected into the reservoir to enhance oil recovery, Colon electromagnetic flowmeters and mass flowmeters can accurately measure the flow of injected fluid to ensure that the injection amount meets the requirements of the exploitation plan, maintain the reservoir pressure, and improve the displacement effect.

Oil and gas gathering and transportation

• Gathering pipeline flow monitoring: In gathering pipelines, colon flowmeters are used to monitor the flow of oil and gas mixed. If the Coriolis mass flowmeter is used, it can accurately measure the mass flow without being affected by the change of fluid composition, density and viscosity, and provide accurate data for the operation management and trade settlement of the gathering and transportation system.

• Separation measurement: After the separation of oil, gas and water, the separated crude oil, natural gas and water are respectively measured. Cologne’s turbine flowmeters are used for crude oil metering, gas ultrasonic flowmeters are used for natural gas metering, and electromagnetic flowmeters are used for water metering, ensuring accurate flow data of each phase and facilitating production scheduling and cost accounting.

Refining and chemical industry

• Raw material feed metering: In the refinery, crude oil and other raw materials into the device, the colon flowmeter accurately control the feed amount, such as the use of high-precision mass flowmeter, to ensure that the raw material according to the process requirements of the flow and proportion into the reaction device, to ensure the stable reaction, improve product quality and yield.

• Measurement of chemical products: In the production process of petrochemical products, intermediate products and final products are measured. For example, in the production of polyethylene, polypropylene, etc., the Cologne flowmeter is used to accurately measure the flow of monomers, additives and other materials to ensure the stability of product quality and the economy of the production process.

Natural gas transmission and distribution

• Long distance pipeline metering: In the long distance transportation of natural gas, Cologne’s gas ultrasonic flow meter is widely used, which can accurately measure the flow of natural gas in large diameter pipelines, with high accuracy, small pressure loss, less maintenance and other advantages, providing a reliable basis for natural gas trade settlement and pipeline transportation scheduling.

• City gas metering: In the city gas distribution system, Cologne’s Roots flowmeters, membrane gas meters and other gas metering for residential and commercial users, with high precision, strong reliability, long service life and other characteristics, to meet the measurement needs of different users, to ensure accurate and reasonable gas charges.
