A new sampling system is the first of its kind designed to extract representative, flow-proportional samples of low GVF 'gassy liquid' multiphase flow.

A Jiskoot sampling system engineered for mounting in the liquid leg of a compact separation multiphase metering system on the Shell UK Exploration and Production Brent Charlie platform is the first system of its kind designed to extract representative, flow proportional samples of low GVF 'gassy liquid' multiphase flow which could be used to assist in meter calibration The system comprises a Jiskoot 210 sample probe and high pressure sample receivers mounted in a heated enclosure with a short interconnect line to minimise the risk of sample cross contamination and automatic full receiver changeover

The receivers are precharged with an inert gas and the extracted samples are maintained at process pressure and temperature so that they can be removed for composition and PVT analysis, with this data used on a regular basis to update or check the calibration of the multiphase metering system.

Samples are taken from a point of homogeneous flow and provide a time-based average of the phases.

The sample can also be used to derive a mean liquid and gas density measurement for meter calibration and other uses.

Jiskoot was selected for this Brent Charlie project due to its experience of fiscal sampling requirements combined with an in-depth knowledge of multiphase flow measurement and the mixing of multiphase flow gained during the development of Mixmeter.
