Alve calls for Roxar meters



By Dann Rogers 

Roxar has signed a deal to supply its subsea Wetgas meters to FMC Technologies which is carrying out engineering procurement and construction work for Statoil at gas fields in the Norwegian continental shelf, including the Alve field.

The Roxar subsea Wetgas meter is the latest in wet gas metering technology, providing real-time, accurate measurement of hydrocarbon flow rates and water production as well as online detection of formation water breakthrough.

“The Roxar subsea Wetgas meter remains unrivalled in terms of its proven technology, functionality and accuracy and we look forward to helping Statoil maximize economic performance from the Alve and other fields,” said Roxar chief executive Sandy Esslemont.

The Alve field holds gas, condensate and oil field, which lies 16 kilometers south-west of the Norne field in water depths of 390 metres, and will be developed as a satellite tie-back to the existing Norne floating production, storage and offloading vessel.

Alve's recoverable reserves are estimated at 6.78 billion cubic metres of gas and 8.3 million barrels of condensate with output expected to commence in December 2008.
