Natural Gas in Venezuela

From Hoffer Flow Controls, Inc.
 

 

Hoffer Flow Controls has recently supplied two computerized natural gas turbine flow measuring systems to Venezuela's gas industry. These systems accurately measure "mass" flow rate and total. Venezuela has enormous gas resources and measuring it accurately is critical because of its value. In one basin alone, there are approximately 3000 wells that require regular flow rate and flow total verification.

The two units, one for low to medium flow and one for medium to high flow were designed and engineered to be mobile and to measure standard cubic feet per day. Connected at the well head atmospheric discharge, this sophisticated turbine gas flow computer performs temperature and pressure compensation and is accurate to ± 2%. Repeatability is ± 0.25% over the repeatable flow range.


Products & Services
Liquid flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving fluid. Search by Specification | Learn more about Liquid Flow Meters
Positive displacement flow meters measure the volume or flow rate of a moving fluid or gas by dividing the media into fixed, metered volumes. These devices consist of a chamber that obstructs the media flow and a rotating or reciprocating mechanism that allows the passage of fixed-volume amounts.
