New wet gas sampling system saves North Sea operator money
Jiskoot has developed, in conjunction with AMEC, and supplied a unique system for wet gas sampling for the Juno project in the North Sea that allows the operator to determine the liquid/gas ratio in a wet gas stream, and thereby improving profitability, by correcting measurement errors.

This is described as a crucial development as the liquid in a gas stream causes DP meters to ‘over-read’, with resultant taxation and accounting errors, and because the liquid content has a much higher value than the equivalent amount of gas.

Used in conjunction with existing flow measurement, the Jiskoot dual sampling system takes liquid and gas samples of the fluids produced by the two gas fields. These are used to determine the high value liquid content of the wet gas and to compensate the allocation metering systems for any measurement error. Until now liquid content of 1 to 3% has proved extremely difficult to measure or sample using existing technology. The system, which measures liquid and gas mass ratios, uses a completely new ‘molecular sieve’ product developed specifically for this application.

"This is a real breakthrough for operators, particularly if they are using a shared or multi-field pipeline with allocation measurement," said Jiskoot marketing manager Jon Moreau. "Oil production companies will now be able to accurately compensate their allocation and production measurement using this sampling technology."
