PETROBRAS (Brazil) and FLUENTA (Norway and USA) are since beginning of 1996 working on this multiphase flow metering route development under a Technological Cooperation Agreement. This Cooperation involves flow meters that are making use of innovative arrangements and physical principles, and are being applied to oil-in-water monitoring, water-in-oil monitoring and multiphase (oil, water and gas) flow metering, which also includes a subsea version. All the meters are going to be prior tested at the PETROBRAS Test Site for Multiphase Equipment - a test site, built onshore (Atalaia, city of Aracaju) that allows performing highly representative tests, when compared with actual production installations - in the qualification process aiming at the usage at the PETROBRAS fields. The FLUENTA conception for a subsea multiphase flow meter (SMFM 1000) will be combined with the PETROBRAS' experience associated to system architecture adequacy to the subsea deep waters deployment and then resulting on the MMS-1200 - a subsea retrievable multiphase meter module. Such module - a guidelineless conception - will be installed on a subsea production manifold (08 wells, 450 m. of water depth, WD, 5 km away from the host FPSO - floating production, storage and off-loading vessel) in the deep water Albacora field in the Campos Basin (April 1997). This paper presents the major characteristics and benefits of the multiphase metering technology and focus on the MMS-1200 description, its development phases, test planning, associated time tables and results obtained up to date.
