1. INTRODUCTION
This section lays down the outline for an overall Integrated skid mounted well test manifold by Emerson
Process Management. Important components in a well test manifold will be:
1. Bettis Multiport Flow Selector Valve Automation
2. Multiphase Flow Meter - Roxar
3. Remote Transmission Unit Remote Automation Solutions.
Developing a oil field successfully inherently carries with itself a host of challenges. Owing to the large
amount of investment committed for field development there is need to maximize profits, and at the same
time minimize risk and cost.
In Country work Projects are increasingly looking for ways to do as much as possible as Plug & Play
modules.
Remote Operations Capability There is concern around being able to deal with day to day operational
needs remotely and efficiently.
Efficient Spares Management Standardization on equipment ensures that there is an efficient spares
strategy and management.
Training Considerations There is need to administer training in a systematic and efficient manner to
local operational staff.
Service Support A Support Structure is required for Mega Projects with facilities, and headcount.
Project On time Delivery Time to Oil is a major Consideration for Upstream Project and affects Return
on Investment negatively.
Safety Concerns The Volatile Security Situation warrants a solution, where there is minimum human
involvement
In a bid to address these concerns, there is a need to develop efficient, and cost effective solutions, that
can be modular and easy to install. This minimizes manpower, effort, and risk on the field, and can
optimize resources in the right direction.

Vision The Solution

This technical solution is employing the Bettis Multiport Flow Selector, which is a unique pressure
vessel, which is designed to manifold up to 8 well flow lines. These flows are combined together, and it is
possible to single out a particular well flow, and conduct well testing on the same.
The actual well fluid test is done via the Roxar Multiphase meter, which measures 3 distinct phases that
could be present in the crude output from the wells, i.e. water, gas, and oil.
Test data, and a host of other parameters, taken from the actuator, pressure and temperature readings
from the wellheads, and the multiport actuator position and control, is fed back into the RAS Remote
Transmission Unit. This device enables to then feed data back into the SCADA system via radio or
satellite communication. Made for remote locations, these RTUs report by exception, with time stamps,
therefore giving the user a real feel of the changes that occur on critical parameters This contributes to
decisive control on the upstream scope of the project, and is the cornerstone of the Digital Oilfield
As illustrated, below is a brief outline of the solution proposed above:

3|Page

Various parameters from wellhead, multiport and multiphase meter are fed back to the DCS system
(Delta V shown in the example above), via radio or satellite communication.
From each well, there are a host of parameters which are detailed in below layout/diagram. This
elucidates the overall function of solution. Pressure, temperature at well site enables the user to monitor
for any pressure losses or spikes which, in turn give an accurate vision of the condition of the
infrastructure far upstream. The multiport manifold allows the well fluid to be singled out and tested with
the Multiphase meter. This will provide the user with complete and comprehensive information on each
well in terms of flow, the composition of the crude fluid that each well produces enabling pro-active and
decisive reservoir and field management throughout the entire lifecycle of the project. Below image that
outlines the different parameters measured per well flow line.

2.2 MULTIPORT AND ACTUATOR TECHNICAL DETAILS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Crude oil well test manifold to be provide as Multiport Flow Selector (MPFS) technology. It provides a cost
effective method for selecting and diverting well fluids from an individual well to a single test outlet or
loop. MPFS should be able to operate in a variety of oil and gas or process applications.
Multiport Flow selector is advanced concept for oil Well test & Production Manifold. This is preferred
choice of manifold due to economical and more compact than conventional designs. Multiport valve is a
cluster of connecting more than one well and grouping together before the production.
The maximum number of wells inlets to a single MPFS is 8 (Eight), however for engineering excellence
operation it is recommended to connect maximum 7 (Seven) nos. of wells. The maximum number of
wells that can be connected to a single MPFS in a specific application is determined by the media type
and flow rate.
ARRANGEMENT AND WORKING OF MULTIPORT FLOW SELECTOR VALVE IN PRODUCTION
MANIFOLD:

The well lines can easily be diverted to production and Test separator from MPFS. The seven inlets of the
multiport flow selector are connected to wells along with isolation valve. The remaining one port is kept
free which is home port. During service the home port can be used for seal adjustment.
