Wellchecker from GPsol with Promass Q and Prosonic Flow G
The oil and gas industry in Germany is facing major economic challenges. Due to a decline in hydrocarbon production, increasingly stringent environmental regulations, and significant cost pressure when it comes to mature fields, the oil production industry is having to explore new solutions. For producers to make the right decisions, analyzing the production data of individual extraction wells is of paramount importance.

The result
The Wellchecker demonstrated its effectiveness at various wells on mature German oil fields in 2021. The results were positive across the board and were included in the feasibility study of the wells.
"We take an operational approach and, for example, offer clever digital concepts for the oil production industry, where Endress+Hauser supports us with state-of-the-art measuring technology."
Large-volume separators are traditionally used in the onshore sector. These separate the extracted oil into gas, water and crude oil during a certain retention time. This makes analyzing individual wells time-consuming and expensive. For this reason, wells are often tested for their extracted crude oil quantity and subsequent laboratory analyses are then used to draw conclusions about the constituents. It is therefore not possible to analyze the current flow volume in "real time".
Our solution
The engineering team at GPsol tackled the issue and designed a compact, three-phase "Wellchecker". Together with us, they developed a system that individually measures each component and then provides as much information as possible about the current flow. By using Promass Q 300 and applying a sophisticated automation concept, the retention time of the products could be significantly reduced. For the gas measurement, Endress+Hauser delivered Prosonic Flow G 300.
Devices used
Prosonic Flow G 300 for the precise measurement of wet gas and Promass Q 300 for measuring the pure oil and water quantities as well as the density.
GPsol is a service provider specializing in process technology and plant engineering. Services in automation and information technology expand the portfolio. The company was founded in Rehden (Germany) in 2020 and supports customers in the oil and gas industry, the energy sector, and the chemical industry.
