FMC Technologies' Multi Phase Meter AS (MPM), has been named a recipient of the 2010 Spotlight on New Technology Award by the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC). The award, which recognizes innovative technologies that significantly impact offshore exploration and production, was given to FMC Technologies for its innovative and patent pending Self Configuring Multiphase Meter. Peter Kinnear, President and Chief Executive Officer of FMC Technologies, said, “The Spotlight on New Technology Award is a very prestigious honor and we are pleased that our technologies are again being recognized by OTC. This meter, developed by our Multi Phase Meter (MPM) subsidiary that we acquired during 2009, is a significant technology advance for our industry and our customers.” The meter has been rated at 15,000 psi and temperatures of up to 480°F (250°C). It has also been designed for use at water depths of 11,500 feet (3,500 meters), and works in multiphase and wetgas applications. Through the use of tomography imaging technology, the meter significantly improves the measurement accuracy and range of multiphase production flow. Seven patented technologies make the meter significantly more accurate and robust than existing products. The meter includes a revolutionary self calibrating feature that allows it to detect and measure water salinity in combination with other liquids in a well, resulting in a higher degree of measuring accuracy that saves operators time and enhances production knowledge.
