The incorporation of a multiphase flow meter (MPFM) in the subsea production manifold on the UK South Scott Field had two main benefits. It reduced the complexity of the infrastructure required to develop the field by eliminating the need for a dedicated test pipeline and riser system, and significantly reduced the project capital expenditure. The application provided the opportunity to deliver benefits to the production and reservoir engineering community by allowing real-time monitoring of well tests. Despite the testing undertaken during the development program, the South Scott MPFM experienced component failure which resulted in the recovery of the meter and a failure investigation.
