Nearly 1200 multiphase flow meters sold by Framo
Nearly 1200 multiphase flow meters using Vx technology has now been sold worldwide by Framo Engineering and Schlumberger.
The PhaseWatcher Vx multiphase flow meter (MPFM) is finding an ever-increasing acceptance onshore, offshore and subsea where operators now are achieving an increasing level of reassurance. After several years of using the technology the PhaseWatcher Vx is now established as the preferred multiphase metering choice for the operators.
While alternative metering technologies have been scrapped or changed significantly over the years, the patented Vx technology is the only multiphase metering principle that has remained conceptually unchanged. This unique technology has helped Framo Engineering & Schlumberger to be the world's first and largest supplier of multiphase metering services.
Framo engineering AS was established in 1983 with the vision of developing leading-edge technology for the oil and gas industry, and to address the challenges for both ‘brown' and ‘green' field developments. We have been the world leading manufacturer of multiphase technology for more than 25 years.
The PhaseWatcher Vx is a result of Framo Engineering and Schlumberger collaboratively working together since the mid-1990's, investing more than 400 man years of R&D to accomplish the goal of a robust and accurate measurement solution. Framo Engineering provides expertise in developing high-quality marine, offshore, and subsea products. The Schlumberger knowledge base spans the oilfield industry worldwide. Together, the team behind the PhaseWatcher Vx is unmatched for field and product know-how, fluids and metrology insight and the ability to develop, test and implement advancements.
The partnership has resulted in optimised strengths in process engineering and well testing. This, along with our product centre 3-Phase Measurements AS, outstanding research centers (UK, USA, France & Norway), manufacturing, testing facilities based in Bergen, Norway and support services world wide, has established and recognized the PhaseWatcher Vx as ‘best in class' for production management, well testing and fiscal allocation.
