Oil and Gas Flow Measurement & Control

The demand to Oil and Gas Flow Measurement is increasing in the oil and gas industry worldwide. meters can offer a range of cost effective options from periodic monitoring of well production to their use in shared pipeline allocation systems including fiscal allocation. Each application will have specific measurement criteria, budget and uncertainty targets. The cost of meters and their complex integration of measurement technologies can add pressure to the selection of suitable meters especially for more challenging conditions.
