  Operating Features

• As many as 60 wells my be tested by a basic PROGAUGE™ station

• Well test times are based on the time it takes to accumulate a measurable oil sample to produce maximum accuracy in the least duration of time. Typically, total test time for a 2000 Bbl/Day (gross), 200 Bbl/Day (oil) well can be less than 30 minutes

• Test times have configurable minimum and maximum durations

• The order of well testing is dynamically adapted, based on production volumes, with provisions for field-level or remote manual override

• Each well's 10 most recent production tests are retained and available for local or remote display, and statistical analysis

• The system's most recent 50 gauges are retained for display and/or remote transmission

• Local operator interface terminal provides all control and operating values, the last 50 tests, and manual well test selection. This interface is designed for simplicity and easy use

• Each well can be configured for one of 4 different cut probe calibration curves. This allows wells with varying oil or water characteristics to be gauged by the same testing system

• Monitoring capability for well and test fluid temperatures

• Measurement of production and supply fluid pressures

• Full supervisory control capability

Performance

Again, the use of proven components, fabrication standards, and design innovation provide the highest oil and water measurement accuracy.  

• Fluid mass, density, and temperature measurement is done with a single Coriolis flow meter providing 0.15% flow accuracy, 100:1 tumdown, and high reliability

• Oil and water determinations are made with a capacitance probe having proven accuracy and high long-tem stability and maintainability

• PLC process controls for open access, precision mathematical capability, and external communication ports

• Sophisticated control and calculation logic automatically determine test time and order

• Typical net oil and gross measurement accuracy is better than ±3% of rate, with an absolute imprecision of 1 bbl/day, even with 10 bbl/day wells

Options

The above describes the characteristics of the basic PROGAUGE™ system. Additional features and enhancements can be initially requested, added by ProGauge Technologies, Inc. or by you after installation. Some typical options are:

• Remote communication over radio, wire, or phone lines using all Allen-Bradley protocols, MODBUS, custom, or customer specified

• Complete system design including remote data communication, central graphics monitoring, control, and integration with legacy data systems

• Collection of additional field data, such as injection well data, etc, around the well test site for display and remote collection

• Custom well gauge averaging or other statistical analysis

• Higher pressure test systems

• Higher well density systems

• Non-standard manufacturers' equipment

Services

ProGauge Technologies, Can provide additional engineering and construction services to support the customer's well testing requirements. Such services include, but are not limited to:

• Complete field installation and startup

• Specialized user training
