Abstract
Well testing of subsea step out fields can be more economic and effective if a metering unit is installed near the wellhead. Such a unit has been developed from the BOET Subsea Separation programme and uses control system elements already certified and demonstrated offshore. It is developed for small gas fields and comprises a single separation vessel with ultrasonic and Coriolis metering principles for the separated gas and liquids. The unit layout is based on the size, weight and guidebase installation of a typical subsea Xmas tree.
