Multiphase meter validation

Validate multiphase meters. Quantify every phase.

Software for validating oil, gas, and water measurement from multiphase flow meters — with GUM uncertainty propagation, integrated thermodynamic modeling, and audit-ready validation reports for production and custody transfer.

Built for production allocation, well testing, and fiscal metering where oil, gas, and water must be measured and validated together.

Multiphase meter validation software

IMS validates multiphase flow meters across oil, gas, and water — then calculates uncertainty for each phase. One platform for performance verification, drift detection, and defensible measurement budgets.

01

Connect multiphase data

Pull oil, gas, and water flow rates, water cut, GVF, pressure, and temperature from SCADA, historians, or field tests.

Oil · Gas · Water · WLR · GVF

02

Validate meter performance

Structured validation against references, drift baselines, and phase-split checks — per API MPMS multiphase guidance.

FAT · In-situ · Drift detection

03

Quantify phase uncertainty

GUM uncertainty and thermodynamic modeling for each phase, plus combined budgets auditors and allocation teams accept.

Multiphase meters validated as conditions change

When GVF shifts, water cut drifts, or line pressure changes, IMS re-validates performance and recalculates phase uncertainty — so allocation and fiscal teams always have current, defensible numbers.

  • Per-phase uncertainty — oil, gas, and water cut
  • Validation against reference and baseline profiles
  • Drift alerts when phase split degrades
  • API MPMS and GUM-compliant validation reports

Where Uncertainty Rigor Meets
Multiphase Thermodynamics

Spreadsheet multiphase validation breaks down at scale — and uncertainty numbers mean little if they ignore the underlying fluid physics. IMS combines rigorous GUM uncertainty propagation with deep multiphase thermodynamic modeling, integrating commercial thermodynamic simulators so metrologists, engineers, and OEMs are all speaking the same language.

GUM Propagation
IMS Integrated Engine
Thermodynamic Modeling

GUM Propagation

Traceable uncertainty propagation for every measurement equation. Sensitivity coefficients, combined standard uncertainty, and expanded uncertainty with documented coverage factors.

  • • Type A & Type B error sources
  • • Sensitivity-ranked budgets
  • • JCGM 100:2008 compliant

IMS Integrated Engine

Uncertainty propagation and thermodynamic behavior resolved together into one defensible budget — not a statistical estimate bolted onto a meter it doesn't understand.

  • • Uncertainty budget tracking and propagation
  • • Real-time fleet monitoring
  • • Production-ready in weeks

Thermodynamic Modeling

We integrate commercial thermodynamic simulators to model PVT behavior and phase envelopes — so uncertainty reflects real fluid physics, not a black-box statistic.

  • • Commercial simulator integration
  • • PVT & phase-behavior modeling
  • • Statistical uncertainty combined with OEM limitations

From multiphase data to validated uncertainty

IMS automates multiphase meter validation — oil, gas, and water measured, validated, and uncertainty-quantified continuously across your fleet.

01

Ingest Multiphase Data

Connect oil, gas, and water flow rates, water cut, GVF, pressure, and temperature from SCADA or field tests.

02

Validate Phase Split

Check meter performance against references — drift on water cut, GVF, and per-phase flow rates.

03

GUM Propagation

GUM propagation informed by thermodynamic modeling for non-linear, multi-variable multiphase systems.

04

Per-Phase Uncertainty

Combined and expanded uncertainty budgets for oil, gas, water cut, and GVF.

05

Validation Report

Pass/fail status, drift alerts, and API MPMS multiphase validation exports.

GUM Combined Uncertainty

uc(y) = √Σ cᵢ² u²(xᵢ)

Expanded uncertainty U = k · uc(y) · k = 2 for ~95% coverage

Beyond Spreadsheet Analysis

Manual GUM calculations break down at scale. IMS replaces error-prone spreadsheets with continuous, fleet-wide uncertainty management.
