 Our Technology
Passive and Active
Passive
• PassiveSONAR™ Flowmeters utilise a
passive array of strain-based sensors
clamped-on to the outside of the pipe
• Coherent vortical structures are created
by the flow in a pipe due to the pipe wall
shearing mechanism inherent in virtually all
flow streams
• Each vortical structure has a unique identity,
similar to a finger print
• These sensors listen to the strain generated
by the naturally occurring flow turbulence
Active
• ActiveSONAR™ Flowmeters utilise an active
array of sensors clamped-on to the outside of the
pipe
• Measuring the same principals as the
PassiveSONAR™ but introducing a sound
source
• The sensors transmit a signal through the flow
medium to a receive sensor at the opposite side of
the pipe
• These signals are amplified and signal processed
using SONAR to determine the flow rate of the
medium in the pipe ©Copyright Expro 2016

❑ Out of 280 SONAR tested wells, 269 well tests were acceptable
and 11 well tests were questionable (6%)
▪ 6 Wells – Need a smaller diameter spool to increase the
flow velocity to better match SONAR operating envelope.
▪ 5 Wells – Under revision
Average Difference Qo,SONAR vs Qo,CST = 10%

❑ Out of 60 MPFM tested wells, 54 tests were acceptable and 6

were questionable (10%)
▪ 4 Wells – not reliable with the field solution GOR
▪ 2 Wells – DP across the Venturi out of MFPM capability

Average Difference Qo,MPFM vs Qo,CST = 8% ©Copyright Expro 2016
