  • Patent number: 12032115
    Abstract: Electromagnetic probes for analyzing a flowing multi-phase fluid are described herein. The probes generally use a probe assembly for measuring liquid properties in a multiphase fluid flowing in a conduit, the probe assembly comprising a first member with a probe portion and a connection portion, the probe portion having a central bore with a conductor and a pressure-resistant insulator surrounding the conductor, the conductor extending from an opening at a distal end of the probe portion into the connection portion, the connection portion having a connector coupled to a distal end of the connection portion, the connection portion having a seal face with a groove extending around the probe portion; and a second member that, when assembled, is in direct contact with the first member at the distal end of the connection portion to apply compression and to retain the first member against a wall of the conduit.

  • Patent number: 10323490
    Abstract: A technique facilitates evaluation of a fluid, such as a fluid produced from a well. The technique utilizes a modular and mobile system for testing flows of fluid which may comprise mixtures of constituents. A modular flow meter system comprises a plurality of modules which each have a multiphase flow meter coupled into a flow circuit. The flow circuits of the plurality of modules are selectively connectable to each other via flow connectors. Additionally, portions of the flow circuits may be selectively opened and closed to enable controlled routing of the fluid being tested through the desired multiphase flow meter or meters.

  • Publication number: 20130248182
    Abstract: A mobile manifold assembly of a fluid system for providing fluid to a wellsite during well construction. The fluid system includes auxiliary components including at least one fluid source, mixer and high pressure pump. The manifold assembly includes a modular manifold and a mobile frame. The modular manifold includes manifold pumps, valves and pipes integrated together for transport. Connector portions of the pipes extend from the modular manifold in an arrangement corresponding to an arrangement of the auxiliary components to define a plug-in configuration therebetween such that the connector portions of the pipes are positionable in alignment with the auxiliary components for direct and removable connection therewith. The manifold pumps and valves are positioned about the pipes to selectively pump the fluid. The modular manifold is securable to a base of the mobile frame whereby the modular manifold is transportable to the auxiliary components for operable connection therewith.
