2.2 Introduction to the NOC system

“NOC” is an abbreviation of “Net Oil Computer.” In the present context, NOC is a software option that can be purchased for three members of the Series 3000 family: the Model 3500 panel-mount transmitter, the Model 3500 rack-mount transmitter, and the Model 3700 field-mount transmitter.
When paired with a Micro Motion sensor installed on the oil/water leg of a two-phase separator or the oil leg of a three-phase separator, the NOC application can provide real-time measurements of water cut. Alternatively, the NOC application can receive water cut data from an external water cut monitor (see Section 2.2.5 for information on water cut options). When the water cut value is known, net oil volume flow and net water volume flow can be calculated.
If desired, real-time gas measurement may be implemented by installing a meter on the gas leg. The Series 3000 platform then receives gas flow data via its frequency input.

The Series 3000 MVD NOC system requires:
Optional components include:

2.2.2 Installation architecture

The Series 3000 MVD NOC system is designed for installation with a three-phase separator, a two-phase separator, or a variety of compact separators. See Figures 2-1 through 2-3.

A meter on the gas leg. This meter can be used for gas measurement with or without Transient Mist Remediation:
- If only gas measurement will be implemented, either a third-party meter or a
Micro Motion meter may be used. Gas measurement must be based on mass flow.
- If Transient Mist Remediation will be implemented, a Micro Motion meter must be used.
A water cut monitor on the oil/water or oil leg.
A pressure sensor on the oil/water or oil leg. Data from the pressure sensor enables pressure compensation (see Section 2.3.2).

2.2.3 Operation modes

The NOC system operates in either Well Test mode or Continuous mode:
In Well Test mode, well tests can be performed on up to 48 wells. A manifold system is used to ensure that output from a single well is routed through the test separator and the NOC system. See Figure 2-4. The system can save data for three tests per well. If more than three tests are run on a specific well, older tests are overwritten as required.
In Continuous mode, one well is measured continuously. See Figure 2-5. The NOC system supplies current flow data plus running averages and totals.
After initial configuration, you can change the operation mode. However, changing modes affects current measurement and data collection. Before changing modes, see Section 5.4.

2.2.4 Required well data

The following information is required for each well that will be tested or measured by the NOC system:
If the density values are not known:
Density of dry oil from this well, at reference temperature and reference pressure. To ensure the most accurate net oil data, the density should be based on live oil rather than dead oil. “Live oil” refers to crude oil at line pressure.
Density of the water from this well, at reference temperature and reference pressure.
You can take samples of produced oil and produced water, perform laboratory analysis, and enter the results into the well configuration.
You can perform an in-line density determination for oil, water, or both (see Section 4.9). During in-line density determination, the appropriate process fluid (water or live oil) is routed through the sensor, density values are averaged over a user-specified time period, and these values are converted to reference temperature. The water cut calculation uses these average values for D
and DW.
O
You can enter approximate values at initial configuration, begin measurement, and recalculate NOC data at a later time when well-specific density values are known (see Section 2.3.7).
NOC Overview NOC ConfigurationUsing the DisplayBefore You Begin

2.2.5 Water cut determination

There are two options for determining water cut:
Density-based – The NOC application derives the water cut by applying the following equation:
where:
- D
= Density of the liquid (oil/gas mixture), as measured by the Micro Motion sensor
L
- D
- D
= Density of produced oil (user-supplied value)
O
= Density of produced water (user-supplied value)
W
Water cut monitor (external water cut) – A water cut monitor is used to measure the process stream directly, and the Series 3000 transmitter retrieves the water cut data via a HART connection. Accordingly, a HART connection between the primary mA output on the NOC platform and the water cut monitor is required.

2.3 NOC application features and options

This section describes several features and options of the NOC application.

2.3.1 Temperature correction

Temperature correction refers to the conversion of data collected at the observed process temperature to the equivalent values at reference temperature. The NOC application automatically applies temperature correction to NOC data, using the temperature data from the RTD built into the Micro Motion sensor.

2.3.2 Pressure compensation

The Series 3000 MVD NOC application can perform two types of pressure compensation:
Pressure compensation for pressure effect
Pressure compensation for oil density and water density
Pressure compensation for pressure effect
Pressure effect is defined as the change in sensor flow tube sensitivity due to the change of process pressure away from calibration pressure. The Series 3000 transmitter can adjust the sensor’s raw mass or density measurements to compensate for this pressure effect.
To implement pressure compensation for pressure effect, the following information is required:
Flow factor – the percent change in the flow rate per psi. To obtain this value, see the sensor’s product data sheet and reverse the sign.
Density factor – the change in fluid density, in g/cm3/psi. To obtain this value, see the sensor’s product data sheet and reverse the sign.
Calibration pressure – the pressure at which the flowmeter was calibrated (which therefore defines the pressure at which there will be no pressure effect). Refer to the calibration document shipped with your sensor. If the data is unavailable, use 20 psi.
Note: For many sensors, the pressure effect is so small that pressure compensation is not required. See the sensor’s product data sheet.
Pressure compensation for oil density and water density
Due to the presence of gas bubbles, the density of produced oil and water can be affected by pressure. If pressure compensation for oil density and water density is enabled, the configured reference densities of oil and water are adjusted as shown in the equation below.
where:
The compensation factor for oil is the value configured for Pressure Compensation for Oil Density, entered as the density change per unit of pressure change.
The compensation factor for water is 3.0E
–6
g/cm3/psi.

2.3.3 Shrinkage factors

“Shrinkage” is a decrease in volume caused by the evaporation of solution gas, by the flashing of volatile natural gas, or by lowered temperature during the crude oil stabilization process. By estimating the shrinkage during oil storage or transport, you can estimate sellable oil based on upstream volume measurement.
The NOC application includes two shrinkage factors: one for oil and one for water. The net oil flow rate and net water flow rate measured by the NOC application are automatically multiplied by the corresponding shrinkage factor. By default, the shrinkage factors are set to 1.0, resulting in no compensation for shrinkage.
Use your standard methods to determine the appropriate shrinkage factors, taking into consideration the location of the Micro Motion sensor in your process.
2.3.4 Gas carry-under – Transient Bubble Remediation (TBR)
Transient Bubble Remediation (TBR) is a standard feature of the NOC application. It is used to provide more accurate process data during intermittent gas carry-under – gas entrainment in the liquid stream. TBR is applicable only when the density-based water cut is used.
Note: If a water cut monitor is used to measure water cut directly, see the vendor documentation for suggestions on maintaining accuracy through transient bubble conditions.
When the density-based water cut is used to calculate net oil, transient bubbles have a negative effect on NOC measurement accuracy. Figure 2-6 shows the effect of transient bubbles on density.

NOC Overview NOC ConfigurationUsing the DisplayBefore You Begin
Net Oil Computer Supplement 11
A “transient bubble condition” is defined in terms of the sensor’s drive gain: if the drive gain exceeds the configured threshold for more than three seconds, the configured TBR actions are performed. The transient bubble interval persists until drive gain is below the configured threshold for three seconds.

(retrieved and averaged)
To determine the value to use for the drive gain threshold, observe drive gain values for this system during various flow conditions.
The NOC application can perform several different actions if transient bubbles are detected:
Additionally, you can configure a discrete output to report TBR status (see Section 5.3).
The Hold Last Value option directs the NOC application to retrieve the measured density value from an earlier point in the process. The earlier point is identified by the configured Time Period (see Figure 2-7). The density values from a three-second period around this point are averaged, and this retrieved density average is then used in NOC calculations. Figure 2-8 shows how the Hold Last Value action affects the density measurement.
Note: If the Time Period happens to fall into a previous transient bubble interval, the NOC application automatically extends the lookback interval as required to retrieve an averaged value from measured density values rather than substituted density values.

2.3.5 Gas measurement

If you want the NOC application to report gas flow data:
A mass flow gas meter must be installed on the gas leg
NOC Overview NOC ConfigurationUsing the DisplayBefore You Begin
The gas meter must be connected to the Series 3000 platform via the frequency input
The density of produced gas at reference temperature and reference pressure must be configured in the NOC application
The Transient Mist Remediation option may be implemented to provide more accurate gas flow data during conditions of liquid carry-over. See the following section for more information on TMR.
If gas measurement without TMR will be implemented, the gas meter may or may not be a Micro Motion product. If gas measurement with TMR will be implemented, the gas meter must be a Micro Motion product.
2.3.6 Gas measurement with liquid carry-over – Transient Mist Remediation
Transient Mist Remediation (TMR) is an optional feature of the NOC application. It is used to provide more accurate gas flow data during intermittent liquid carry-over – liquid entrained in the gas stream. Additionally, because the liquid is assumed to be a mixture of oil and water in the same proportions as in the liquid stream, the NOC application provides the option of adding the estimated quantities back to the net oil and net water values from the liquid stream. This “addback” option provides a more accurate measurement of total oil and water production from the well.
In addition to the gas measurement requirements described in the previous section, TMR requires drive gain data from the TMR gas meter. Accordingly, a HART connection must be set up between the primary mA output on the NOC platform and the TMR gas meter.
Variations in the drive gain from the TMR gas meter are used to detect liquid carry-over. When the drive gain exceeds a user-specified threshold, liquid is assumed to be present in the gas stream. The transient mist interval persists until drive gain is below the configured threshold.
To determine the value to use for the drive gain threshold, observe drive gain values for the TMR gas meter during various flow conditions.

Mass flow rate
M1 (averaged mass flow rate)
M3 (average of M1 and M2)
M2 (averaged mass flow rate)
When a transient mist interval is detected:
The mass flow rate over the previous n seconds is averaged and stored as the TMR M1 value, where n is the value configured for Time Period.
When the drive gain drops below the configured threshold for more than three seconds, the mass flow rate over the next n seconds is averaged and stored as the TMR M2 value.
The M1 and M2 values are then averaged, and the resulting value M3 is used as the mass flow rate for the TMR interval. See Figure 2-9 for an illustration of TMR.
Figure 2-9 TMR implementation

2.3.7 Recalculation

The Recalculation feature is used to convert existing NOC data to:
A different reference temperature
A different oil density at reference temperature
A different water density at reference temperature
A different reference density of gas
A different reference pressure
A different pressure compensation factor for oil
Different shrinkage factors
For example, recalculation allows you to begin NOC measurement before precise reference values are known, and then adjust the NOC data when the reference values are available.
During recalculation, you can change any or all of the values listed above. You can recalculate well test results for any of the stored well tests, and you can recalculate the Continuous mode measurement data for saved archive records.
When a well test or archive record is recalculated, the recalculated results can be saved if desired. The original data is not overwritten.
14 Micro Motion® Series 3000 MVD Transmitters
Page 19
NOC Overview
Note the following:
Only the most recent 24 hours of data can be recalculated.
Recalculation is based on 15-minute “snapshot” average values. As a result, recalculated data will typically be less accurate than the original data, which is based on continuous measurement.

2.4 Planning the configuration

This section contains a set of questions that you should answer before beginning basic configuration of the Net Oil Computer Software and the NOC system.
Note: These questions are specific to implementation of the NOC system. They do not address basic system configuration (e.g., configuring the clock, passwords, events, communications, etc.).
1. Will this system be used to test multiple wells or to perform continuous measurement of a single well?
2. If it will be used for well testing, what wells will be tested? in what order?
3. Will you use density-based water cut data or a water cut monitor? If you are using a water cut monitor, what is its range?
4. For all wells that will be measured:
a. What is the oil density at reference temperature? If not known, will you perform a density
determination?
b. What is the water density at reference temperature? If not known, will you perform a
density determination?
c. (Well Test mode only) What is the well’s purge time?
NOC Overview NOC ConfigurationUsing the DisplayBefore You Begin
5. Will you use HART communications for any of the following: water cut data, pressure data, or TMR data? If yes:
a. What is (are) the HART tag(s) of the external device(s)?
b. Is the primary mA output wired to support HART communications with the external
device(s)?
6. Does the system include gas measurement? If yes:
a. Is the frequency input wired to the gas meter?
b. What is the reference density of the gas (density at reference temperature and pressure)?
7. Will TBR be configured? If yes, what drive gain will be used as the TBR threshold?
8. Will TMR be configured? If yes, what drive gain will be used as the TMR threshold?
9. If you will configure pressure compensation for oil density, what is the value to use?
10. If you will configure shrinkage factors, what are the values to use?

4.4 Setting up a water cut monitor

If you will use a water cut monitor:
1. Ensure that the water cut monitor is correctly installed and tested, and configured to report water cut data in %.
2. Enable the water cut monitor as an external input, as described in Section 4.3, Step 5.
3. If desired, specify a value for value, an alarm will be posted. Micro Motion recommends setting this parameter to the highest value in your water cut monitor’s range. To disable the alarm, set the value to 100%.
4. Set up a HART polling connection between the Series 3000 device and the water cut monitor as follows:
a. Ensure that the primary mA output has been wired to support HART protocol, and that it
has a HART connection to the water cut monitor.
b. From the Configuration menu shown in Figure 3-2, select

4.9.1 Performing a density determination for water
There are two density determination methods for water: in-line and manual. The in-line method requires enough water in the separator to supply a stable flowing density for the density determination period. If there is not enough water, you must use the manual method. This section provides instructions for both methods.

5.2.3 Time periods for average, minimum, maximum, and total values

For the current test, running average, minimum, maximum, and total values for each process variable are calculated from the beginning of the test. When the well test is stopped, the final values will be stored with the test data.

5.2.4 Other activity during a well test

Between well tests, you can use the Exit button to move between the Well Performance Measurement menu and the View menu. While a well test is in progress, you can use the Exit button on the Return to Well Test screen to move between the well test screens and the View menu.
From the View menu, you can perform any available actions.
At any point from the well test screens, including during a well test, you can press the Security button to access the Configuration and Maintenance menus. The system does not prevent configuration changes, calibrations, or other procedures. However, many actions (e.g., reconfiguring well data) will cause discontinuities in the well test data, and many procedures will interfere with data collection. If you need to change system configuration or perform a maintenance procedure:
1. Stop the well test.
2. Make the required configuration changes or perform the required procedures.
3. Start a new well test.

recalculation record will be written to the list of well tests for this well, and can be viewed using the View Well Test menu shown in Figure 5-2. The recalculation record is displayed with the original timestamp and the term REC.
To discard the results of the recalculation, press
EXIT.
Note the following:
Recalculation is based on the snapshot records written every 15 minutes during the well test.
Only 96 snapshot records (24 hours of data) are stored. If the well test runs more than 24 hours, older snapshots are overwritten. Accordingly, the recalculation procedure is applied only to data from the last 24 hours of the well test.
You may recalculate results for each well test, and you may recalculate each well test more than once.
Only one recalculation record can be saved per well. If you perform a second recalculation and save the results, the existing recalculation record will be overwritten. Be sure to record or download (via Modbus) the existing recalculation record, if required, before performing the next recalculation for the current well.
TMR carry-over totals are not recalculated. If carry-over totals were added to the original oil and water totals, the TMR carry-over data is not included in the recalculated totals.

5.3.3 Resetting, saving, and managing Continuous mode time periods

Running average, minimum, maximum, and total values are calculated from the beginning of Continuous mode measurement.
Note: Inventory values are calculated from the beginning of continuous mode measurement until reset by digital communications (Modbus coil 4 or HART command 242).
You can reset the start time for these running calculations:
To set a new start time for all process variables at once:
a. Select
Reset from the Well Performance Measurement screen shown in Figure 5-3.
b. Press the
RESET button on that screen, then press YES to confirm.
To set a new start time for one process variable only:
a. Navigate to the process monitor screen where the process variable data is displayed.
b. Press the
RESET button on that screen.
Note: Not all process variables can be reset individually. If the Reset button is not displayed, the system does not allow individual reset for that process variable.
At any time during Continuous mode measurement, you can save the current values of the summary variables to an archive record. To do this, select
SAVE from the Well Performance Measurement
menu as shown in Figure 5-3. The archive record is then available for viewing or recalculation.
Up to three archive records can be stored. Archive records are identified by the save time timestamp.
Archive records also contain snapshots of actual values. The snapshots are written to memory every 15 minutes. These snapshot values are required for recalculation, but are not available for viewing. Therefore, for meaningful recalculation, ensure that the Continuous mode time period is longer than 15 minutes so that the archive record will include snapshots.
Figure 5-4 illustrates the relationship between Save, Reset, snapshots, and archive records.
