Methodologies and apparatus for the recognition of production tests stability
Abstract:
A method for analyzing flow of a fluid through a flowmeter is provided. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving multiphase flowmeter data representative of a characteristic of a multiphase fluid flowing through a multiphase flowmeter and segmenting the multiphase flowmeter data into time blocks. The data in the time blocks can be analyzed using time-domain analysis or frequency-domain analysis to determine flow stability. The time-domain analysis can include analyzing time blocks in a time domain to determine whether measurement distribution in the multiphase flowmeter data of the analyzed time blocks represents stable flow of the multiphase fluid. The frequency-domain analysis can include converting the multiphase flowmeter data of the time blocks from a time domain to a frequency domain and identifying time blocks in which contribution of low-frequency components in the frequency domain is below a contribution threshold. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
