Downhole Sensitive Process Viscosity Measurement at Extremely High Pressures
Apr 07 2014
Sofraser (France) reinforces its presence on very high pressure applications for viscosity measurement needed for fracturing, drilling and PVT experiments (Pressure, Viscosity, Temperature). As the market is exploring more and more under extreme conditions to find resources such as oil and gas, instrumentation in situ goes deeper downhole, to monitor the quality of sophisticated fluids as well as mixes of oil and brine, water, etc.
Sofraser’s new Sofeat inline viscometer can reach pressures up to 1900 bar, a performance unequalled for process viscosity measurement using vibrating technology. Featuring a high pressure mounting flange, highly resistant material and sensing element design improvements, the sensor reaches the very high viscosity performances without loss of sensitivity. Up to 300°C, the pressure can resist up to 1400 bar; increasing up to 1900 bar at ambient temperature.
With numerous underground applications, the Sofeat viscometer receives a lot of interest from all over the world and first units are being delivered on very high value projects for OEM integration on in situ installations. The Sofeat results provide sensitive viscosity measurement for large viscosity ranges.
