In January Hammertech received an order from a major Operator in the Middle East for installation of several AquaField™ onshore.

The Operator informed us that the main application for the AquaField™s was for proactive surveillance. The Operator had several challenges on both the well level and the field level:

On the well level, water cut fluctuation and flow regime changes caused the following:

• Affecting the water cut measurement accuracy
• Inducing discrepancy between multiphase flow meters (MPFM) and mobile/portable well testing systems
• High sampling frequency

On the field level, well test results inaccuracy related to water cut fluctuation, resulted in:

• Field allocation inaccuracy
• Inaccuracy in determination of field gas volume

The Operator stated that the AquaField™ addresses both well and field level challenges, thereby improving measurements, optimizing production, increasing hydrocarbon output and reducing cost.
