As can be seen in the table, FMC Technologies has a wide range of experience in integrating subsea flow meters in different configurations (i.e. tree, manifold or well jumper) based on customer requirements. The meter communications to the subsea control systems, subsea power supply, hardware interfaces, and data communication to the surface computer systems have all been supplied by FMC as necessary in each of the projects. Subsea flow meter integration into a subsea production system is well established. All of these meters shown in the above table were supplied by 3rd party metering suppliers, well established in the industry.
