Abstract

1471450 Measuring liquid flow-rate SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ BV 30 April 1974 [2 May 1973] 18835/74 Heading G1N Apparatus for measuring liquid flow-rate in a fluid line 10 carrying a liquid-gas flow includes a pressure transducer 11 sensing pressure variations in the line in excess of a given frequency and producing an electric signal to an RMS voltmeter 15 which connects with an integrator 18 and strip chart recorder 19. The invention is said to be based on the discovery that the variation with respect to time in the fluid-pressure, in an oil/gas two-phase flow system, during turbulent flow can be correlated with variations with respect to time in the liquid content of the two-phase flow. The pressure turbulence of a liquid is from ten to one hundred times that of gas flow so the apparatus is relatively insensitive to gas flow. The apparatus may be used to control the operation of artificial lift means in an oil/gas producing well.
