Watercut meters, used in oil & gas production, pipeline distribution, and refinery applications, are advanced and designed to measure the percentage of water in oil flow precisely to help you maximize oil production and reduce operating costs.

In this quick 2-minute YouTube video, What Is the Measuring Range of the Roxar™ Watercut Meter?, Emerson’s Fiona Butters highlights the enhanced versatility of the Roxar Watercut Meter with the TopCut feature, expanding its range from 0-50% to an impressive 0-100% water cut, perfect for applications requiring a broader range.

Transcript

The Roxar Watercut Meter generally operates as a low-cut meter, which is where the water cut ranges from 0 to 15%. Or a high cut meter where the water-cut range is 15 to 50%. The meter sensor resonates on a broad frequency range. On a water range of 0 to 50%, the resonating frequency span is doubled compared to the required frequency span needed for measuring 0 to 15% range.

In the 0 to 50% range, the oil contains water droplets. In the range from 50 to 100%, the fluid is water-continuous, which means there are oil droplets in the water.

The signal that is emitted to the sensor is absorbed by the water if the fluid is water-continuous and does not provide a sufficient return signal. Our meter will only measure water in oil-continuous flow unless we upgrade to the top-cut function and use a density input from either a Coriolis or densitometer.

In instances where the oil density changes, such as in well testing, the use of the auto-zero feature and the density input from a Coriolis or densitometer will allow the Roxar Watercut Meter to use the live measured density for optimum accuracy.
