Annotation:

The problem of non-stop flow measurement has been on the agenda for a long time. However, there is no ideal scheme yet. The article describes an attempt to improve the known schemes. The "Vx PhaseWatcher flowmeter", widely used by Schlumberger, is considered the most successful solution, but its design has certain limitations. The article demonstrates the implemented model of a multiphase flow meter, shows its capabilities when working with real data. The possibilities and limitations of the implemented model with a high gas-to-gas ratio (GVF) of the mixture (GVF > 98 %) are analyzed, and ways to improve the technical characteristics of the model under specified conditions with a high GVF are considered.
