Global Watercut Meters Market Definition

The water content (cut) of crude oil and other hydrocarbons is measured by a water cut meter as they pass through a pipeline. In the petroleum industry, water cut meters are usually used to determine the water cut of oil flowing from a well, oil extracted from a separator, crude oil transfer in pipelines, and in tanker loading. The key technologies are dielectric measurements using radio or microwave frequencies and NIR measurements, guided radar, and gamma ray-based instruments are less common.

There are several technologies used. The volume of water generated as a percentage of all liquids produced from an oil well is known as the water cut. The water cut meters maximize performance by reducing water level and reducing retention time. These meters have low cost, high accuracy, and long-term repeatability. The water cut meters are mainly categorized into two typesOnshore and Offshore. There are several technologies used in water cut meters.

The principal technologies are dielectric measurements using radio or microwave frequency and NIR measurements, guided radar, and less frequent are gamma ray-based instruments. The use of radiofrequency (RF) is extensively practiced, due to the large difference between the dielectric constants of oil and water. The water cut in water drive reservoirs can reach very noble values. Water cut meter has a wide range of applications in Automatic Well Testing (AWT), Basic Sediment and Water (BS and W), Separation Vessels, MPFM Application, and Others.

Global Watercut Meters Market Overview

The growing need and demand for real-time flow monitoring equipment are the major factors driving the growth of the global water cut meter industry. Additionally, in order to meet the rising demand for refined products, economies around the world are expanding their manufacturing capabilities.
