I’m here in the “Selecting the Right Flowmeter” session to learn from Emerson’s Karl Stappert, Martin Schlebach and Steve Ifft. Emerson’s […]
As gas production wells age, there is a natural decline in reservoir pressure over time. In a Flow Control article, Proper Instrumentation is Key to Profitable Plunger Lift Applications, Emerson’s Wally Baker, Eric Beltz and Tom McCulloch describe the challenges in flow measurement during plunger lift operations and the economic impact from inaccurate measurements. They […]
