4. Manual Readings

4.1. Readings to be performed

Readings for Wellhead Pressure, Temperature and Flow line pressures should be routinely cross checked with the
readings from the transmitters sending data to Surface Data Acquisition System (SDAS). Call the SDAS operator up
and check with them at least once an hour for cross checks on transmitters whilst testing is taking place.

The readings are grouped in;

• Wellhead Data
- Wellhead Pressure (upstream choke manifold)
- Wellhead Temperature (upstream choke manifold)
- Choke Size
- Downstream Pressure (downstream choke manifold, but upstream the heat exchanger)
- BS&W (downstream choke manifold)
- H2S content (downstream choke manifold)

• Gas Metering
- Orifice Size
- Static Pressure (used in gas calculation)
- Diff. Pressure
- Temperature (of gas meter run)
- Gas Gravity
- H2S content of gas

• Oil or Condensate Metering

- Tank 1 or Meter Reading
- 1st Oil Temperature
- Tank 2 or Meter Reading
- 2nd Oil Temperature
- Oil Gravity
- Weathering factor
- BS&W (from oil meter run)

• Water Metering
- Tank 1 or Meter Reading
- Tank 2 or Meter Reading
- Salinity

4.2. Time intervals for readings

The time intervals used between manual readings are dependant on the period during which the readings are being
taken. The durations between readings are of course subject to orders given by the client representative on
location, hence the below table is just a guideline. Typically the general rule is that we will log data every 15 minutes
during normal flow periods and every 30 minutes during normal shut-ins.

choke size , then every one hour once the well is stable.
• Oil & Gas Gravity Sampling shall be taken every one hour once the separator conditions stabilized.

5. Electronic Readings
The SDAS system sample-rate is normally set to 1 minute rate prior to opening the well, closing in the well, choke
changes and any other operations which affect well conditions. Export data rates should be of 1 - minute readings
prior to opening and closing in the well, and after a choke change and any other operation which alters the well
conditions. Export rates can be increased to 5 minutes and then 15 minutes once the well has stabilized.

6. Flow Rate Calculations

6.1. Oil Rate Calculations

Oil Flow Rate:- Qo = Vo / tf

where :-
Qo = Volume flow rate, at standard conditions of 14.73 psia and 60 deg F
Vo = Net Standard Oil Volume, at standard conditions of 14.73 psia and 60 deg F
tf = Time to produce the volume Vo

6.1.1 Measurement by METER

Net Standard Oil Volume:- Vo = Vm × Cf × k × (1 - BS&W / 100)

where :-
Vo = Meter Net Standard Volume, at standard conditions of 14.73 psia and 60 deg F
Vm = Indicated volume registered by meter(s) since last reading, separator conditions
Cf = Combined measured correction factor, obtained by calibration of meter with tank
during the test, Includes both meter factor Mf and weathering factor Wf
Mf = Calibration factor relating the meter volume to the calibrated tank reference
Wf = Volume of oil at standard conditions / volume of oil at tank conditions,
including both compressibility effects and flash volume loss in tank reference
k = CTL = correction for thermal expansion
BS&W = Basic sediment and water, API field centrifuge method

6.1.2 Measurement by Tank

Net Standard Oil Volume:- Vo = Vt × k × (1 - BS&W / 100)

where :-
Vo = Tank Net Standard Volume, at standard conditions of 14.73 psia and 60 deg F
Vt = Indicated volume registered by tank(s) since last reading, tank conditions

k = CTL = correction for thermal expansion

BS&W = Basic sediment and water, API field centrifuge method

Reference:

• API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapters 11.1 / 12.2, modified for operational field
conditions

6.2. Gas Rate Calculations

Measurement by Orifice Plate :- Q v = C × √ ( hw × Pf )

where :-
Qv = Volume flow rate, at standard conditions of 14.73 psia and 60 deg F
C = Orifice flow constant
hw = Differential pressure, inch water at 60 Deg F
Pf = Absolute Upstream Static Pressure

Orifice flow constant :- C = Fb × Fr × Y1 × Fpb × Ftb × Ftf × Fgr × Fpv × Fa × (unit conversion factor)
where :-
Fb = Basic orifice factor
Fr = Reynolds number factor
Y1 = Upstream expansion factor
Fpb = Pressure base factor = 1, as Pb = Pst = 14.73 psia is assumed
Ftb = Temperature base factor = 1, as Tb = Tst = 60 deg F is assumed
Ftf = Flowing temperature factor = √ (1 / Tf1)
Fgr = Real gas relative density factor = √ (1 / SG)
Fpv = Supercompressibility factor = √ (Zst / Zf1), as Zb = Zst is assumed
Fa = Orifice thermal expansion factor

The Client is supplied initially with a single copy on CD. This is for their review and comment. This should ideally be
supplied on a CD-RW (re-writeable format CD) so if they wish, they can add their comments on a file and attach it to
the actual report on the CD. A Separate CD-RW should be supplied for each report.

The report is supplied in two formats, one is the final EXCEL format and the other is Adobe PDF format.

Note: Document transmittals to be signed-off and filed on Project folder

IMPORTANT NOTE: These reports must be password protected for editing and alteration. They should only
be able to read and print the data, not edit it. The password is issued by the Coordinator in town.

7.2. Sections in the report

This is currently under review, but at present the following is a guide as to what sections are required and where
they are located. This same layout should be used for creating the layout in the bookmarks for the PDF files as well.
