Differential Pressure Transmitter Applied in Oilfield Single Well Oil Extraction

Background

When the oil is discharged from a single well in an oil field, the extracted crude oil contains water, and the water content is not fixed which results in inaccurate measurement for the crude oil density in the process of measuring crude oil nuclear production.

In order to solve it, the automatic intelligent analytical analysis and treatment is applied for the dissolved gas contained in crude oil in the metering pipeline. The density of the mixed gas mixture can be accurately determined without separation, without degassing, thereby realizing accurate measurement of crude oil production.

single well oil extraction

 

Difficulties

(1) The measuring medium is an oil-water mixture with high temperature, high viscosity and it has certain corrosiveness.

(2) 0.5% FS accuracy, good stability


Solution

MDM3051K-LP series differential pressure transmitter, with a double flange capillary tube, can reduce the interference caused by high viscosity, high temperature, and corrosive of the medium. It is suitable for differential pressure measurement in a closed environment.

Details:

(1) P = ρgh, the principle to calculate the crude oil density value.

(2) Measuring the differential pressure value on a vertical fixed length pipe to reduce the influence of high viscosity and high temperature of the medium.

(3) The measurement range needs to match the fixed pipe length.

(4) 0.5% FS accuracy.

flanged differential pressure transmitter

After testing the pipeline valves and various components, the measurement data is accurate, and the effect is achieved onsite.

Pressure Transmitter FAQ

What is a pressure transmitter used for?

A pressure transmitter converts the pressure of liquid, gas or steam into a standard electrical signal for PLC, DCS, recorder or control instrument input. It is widely used for pipeline pressure, tank level, flow measurement and process safety monitoring.

How do I choose the right pressure transmitter?

Confirm the pressure range, pressure type, medium, temperature, output signal, accuracy, installation thread, electrical connection and environmental requirements. For corrosive media, high temperature or sanitary applications, diaphragm material and sealing structure are especially important.

What is the difference between gauge, absolute and differential pressure transmitters?

Gauge pressure transmitters measure pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure transmitters measure pressure relative to vacuum. Differential pressure transmitters measure the pressure difference between two points and are commonly used for flow, filter and level measurement.

Can Xinyi Instrument provide customized pressure transmitters?

Yes. Xinyi Instrument can support customized pressure ranges, process connections, output signals, cable length, display options and model selection for different industrial applications.
