Technology
The Pietro Fiorentini Multiphase and Wet Gas Flow Meters provide real-time simultaneous measurement of oil,
water and gas flow rates. They measure the three phases flowing together without separation, eliminating the
need for separation before measure and avoiding installation of large and costly equipment. The meters are
non-intrusive and operate inline.
Main advantages of Multiphase and Wet Gas meters

More accurate decline curves permitting accurate reserves calculations helping the development
strategy.
Reduced drilling and completion costs by better understanding interference between wells and better
characterizing the stimulation zone
Optimize production by observing continuous flow rates
Increased data confidence allowing earlier recognition of well problems
Evolution of our product

Flowatch, Xtreme and Totem are the latest Multiphase Flow Meters developed by Pietro Fiorentini. These
systems have evolved from the first non-radioactive Flowatch model, implementing state-of-the-art technologies
that provide a more accurate, reliable and robust measurement system to our customers.

Flowatch 3I
Non-radioactive model, suitable for strictly
regulated areas.
Without a radioactive source, no specific
permits are required.
Flowatch HS
Based on the Flowatch 3I technology, it utilizes
our quick gamma densitometer, ideal for
applications requiring a better accuracy and for
high gas applications
Wet Gas Meters

Xtreme
The Xtreme meter is our non-radioactive system
for wet gas applications.
Xtreme HS
Based on the Xtreme technology, the addition
of our quick gamma densitometer provides
improved accuracy.
All the models can be upgraded with the addition of a Near Infra Red (NIR) watercut probe module, our latest
development, guaranteeing the best performance on the watercut measurement independent of variations in
salinity.
Principle of operation
The Flowatch 3I utilizes a combination of DP measurement across a venturi, impedance measurement
(capacitance/conductance of the oil/water mixture) and bulk velocity measurement via sensor crosscorrelation.
In the HS model density is measured by a gamma densitometer with a patented high-speed detector resulting
in a higher accuracy.
The Flow Velocity Module, a high gas mixture velocity measuring device based on local turbulence pressure
analysis, is used for wet gas measurement.
The NIR probe is a water liquid ratio (WLR) sensor based on differential optical absorption spectroscopy. It
relies on the large difference in the absorption of near infrared (NIR) light between crude oil and water. The
measurement is not affected by flow regime or water salinity.
Key Features
Flowatch Multiphase Flow Meter:

Retrievable venturi inlet
Redundant cross correlation for a more reliable velocity measurement
Widest size range on the market (starting from 0.5)
High repeatability and long term stability due to high quality components
Improved mathematical model (slip model) for all flow patterns
Xtreme Wet Gas Meter:

Local turbulence pressure measurement using pressure sensitive transducers
Suitable for flow measurement in annular flow regime
Effective in both dry and wet gas condition
Operates up to high velocities (40m/s)
Quick Gamma Densitometer (HS versions):

Patented detector specifically developed for multiphase metering
Highest speed available on the market for density measurement
High accuracy due to the fast gamma detector
Dose rate value at surface close to background level
NIR Probe Module:

High Accuracy for the entire 0-100% Water Liquid Ratio range
Independent of fluid composition
Independent of flow regimes
Independent of salinity and on salinity changes
Light source can be replaced without disconnecting from the flow
Multiphase Wet Gas Flow Meter

The Totem Multiphase Wet gas meter includes all the measurement modules and the functionalities of the
Flowatch and Xtreme meters. It can cover the whole 0-100% GVF range and water cut.
Thanks to the modular design as the well flow stream changes during its life cycle, the additional modules can
be added to the system improving the accuracy and extending the operating range.
Combining all the modules Pietro Fiorentini can offer a Multiphase Wet Gas system suitable for all
well conditions.
