Development of a Customized Net Oil Compensation Module–Based DCS Control System for Enhanced Metering Efficiency
Abstract
Accurate hydrocarbon metering is critical to production monitoring, custody transfer, and regulatory compliance in the oil and gas industry. However, conventional metering systems are often challenged by multiphase flow conditions, fluid property variability, and inherent measurement uncertainties, leading to inaccuracies in reported production volumes. This paper presents the development of a customized Net Oil Compensation (NOC) module implemented within a Distributed Control System (DCS) framework to enhance metering efficiency and accuracy. The proposed methodology integrates real-time fluid characterization, advanced signal processing techniques, and adaptive compensation algorithms to dynamically correct raw flow measurements. Simulation and validation results demonstrate that the developed Net Oil compensation approach reduces measurement errors by up to 15% compared to uncompensated metering methods, while also improving operational reliability and reducing maintenance requirements. The findings confirm the effectiveness of DCS-based Net Oil compensation as a robust solution for modern oil and gas metering applications.
