| Description |
This project developed Recommended Practices (RP) for the sampling
equipment, sample handling, and analytical methods (offshore facility based
or shore based) for high water cut oil commonly found in Gulf of Mexico
Deepwater gathering facilities or ‘hubs’. The key objectives were to
estimate the amount of uncertainty of analytical methods over the range of
available data, investigate the limitations of various analytical methods
and equipment with regard to water cut and fluid properties, qualify
procedures and associated requirements, identify exceptions of various
analytical methods and equipment, and recommend best practices over range of
applications. The water cut range of highest interest was from 2% to 25%
although data on water cuts to 50% were included as found. |
