The development of multiphase meters (MPM) has been an important research and development project for Statoil during the last decade. Extensive testing of MPM for the last four years has led to significant improvement of accuracy and reliability of meters. For applications of subsea MPM, it is important that the accuracy, stability and repeatability of the meters are according to the specifications. To be able to learn from practical experiences of operating such meters, Statoil installed two subsea meters from MFI and Framo for a one-year test at the Gullfaks B platform. At Gullfaks B, another MPM has been in operations for allocation metering of the production from a long reach well. Initial comparisons of the MPM and the test separator shows encouraging results.
