Development of a Virtual Metering System Application for High Water Cut Wells with Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPS) – a Case Study for Quifa Field

Well surveillance is a mandatory requirement for reservoir characterization and production optimization that every asset must aim for. To guarantee constant monitoring of a single well, installing conventional multi-phases flow meters systems is necessary. As an alternative way, this paper presents...
