2.2Introduction 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.

2.2.1NOC system components
The Series 3000 MVD NOC system requires:
Optional components include:
2.2.2Installation 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.
•One Series 3000 MVD transmitter with the Net Oil Computer software option
•One Micro Motion sensor installed on the oil/water or oil leg
•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).
Note: These figures do not illustrate all possible combinations.

2.2.3Operation 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.

2.2.4Required 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 OverviewNOC ConfigurationUsing the DisplayBefore You Begin
2.2.5Water 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.

2.3NOC application features and options
This section describes several features and options of the NOC application.
2.3.1Temperature 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.
2.3.2Pressure 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.

Density (measured)
Drive gain (actual)
2.3.3Shrinkage 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.
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.
Figure 2-6Effect of transient bubbles on density
NOC OverviewNOC ConfigurationUsing the DisplayBefore You Begin
Net Oil Computer Supplement11
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.
•Substituting a previously measured density value for the measured density value in NOC
calculations (the Hold Last Value option)
•Stopping the well test (if a well test is in progress)
•Posting an alarm

2.3.5Gas 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 OverviewNOC 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.
2.3.6Gas 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.

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 2-9TMR implementation
2.3.7Recalculation
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.
14Micro 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.
2.4Planning 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. Ensure that the correct fluid (oil) is flowing through the sensor. You may need to drain water
from the separator.
2. From the Calibration menu, select
Density Determination and work through the screens until
the Procedure Selection screen (see Figure 4-3) is displayed. In Well Test mode, you will be
required to select the well for which the procedure will be performed.
3. From the Procedure Selection screen, select
Oil Density. The screen shown in Figure 4-9 is
displayed.

4. The display now shows the current values for oil density, oil temperature, volume, and
flowrate (see Figure 4-9), plus the configured Oil Deviation and Oil Duration Ave values.
Monitor the density and temperature values, watching for the density and temperature readings
to stabilize.
Note: The Oil Deviation and Oil Duration Ave values shown here are read-only. If you need to change
them, you must reconfigure the well data. See Section 4.3.
5. (Optional) Press
RESET to reset the volume total to 0. This enables you to monitor the amount
of fluid that remains in the separator (if the separator volume is known).
6. When the density reading has stabilized at a level that indicates that live oil is flowing through
the sensor, press
START. The NOC application will now average the density and temperature
of the process fluid until a good sample is achieved.
A “good sample” means that, for the configured Oil Duration Ave, no two consecutive density
readings differed by more than the configured Oil Deviation limit. If the oil deviation limit is
exceeded, averaging is restarted.
Note: If the averaging procedure does not end automatically, you may need to verify your process
fluid or increase the Oil Deviation value.
During this period, the screen shown in Figure 4-10 is displayed. You can press
the averaging. You will be returned to the previous screen.

7. If you are using the density-based water cut, take a sample of the fluid in the pipe during this
averaging period, then measure the water cut of the sample. You can use any standard
procedure (e.g., centrifuge, distillation, Karl-Fischer, etc.) to measure the water cut. Measure
in % volume.
Note: The accuracy of this water cut value directly affects the accuracy of the NOC data. Be sure to
use a representative sample and measure carefully.
If you are using a water cut monitor, this sampling procedure is optional. You may use either
the water cut data measured by the monitor or water cut data from the sample.
8. When the good sample is achieved, the results are shown on the a screen similar to
Figure 4-11.

5.3.3Resetting, 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.

5.3.4Other activity during Continuous mode measurement
During continuous measurement, you can use the
screen to move between the continuous measurement screens and the View menu. From the View
menu, you can perform any available actions.
At any point from the continuous measurement screens, 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 data, and many
procedures will interfere with data collection. If you need to change system configuration or perform
a maintenance procedure:
1. Pause measurement.
2. If desired, save an archive record.
3. Make the required configuration changes or perform the required procedures.
4. Reset all process variables.
5. Resume measurement.
5.3.5Viewing archive records

6. At this point, you can save or discard the results of the recalculation.
•To save the results of the recalculation, select
Save Recalc Data, then press EXIT. A
recalculation record will be written to archives, and can be viewed using the View
Archives option described in Section 5.3.5. The recalculation record is displayed with the
original timestamp and the term REC, as shown in Figure 5-5.
•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 Continuous
mode measurement period.
•Only 96 snapshot records (24 hours of data) are stored. If the measurement period 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 measurement period.
•You may recalculate results for each archive record, and you may recalculate each archive
record more than once.
•Only one recalculation record can be saved. 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 another
recalculation.
•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.
(1) If the value was changed during the measurement period, the value displayed here is the value in use when the archive record was
saved.
5.4Changing modes
Changing from Well Test mode to Continuous mode, or from Continuous mode to Well Test mode,
affects current measurement and data collection. To change modes, follow the instructions in this
section.
To change from Well Test mode to Continuous mode:
1. If a well test is running, it will be stopped automatically when the mode is changed.
2. Perform all required or desired recalculations.
3. Well test data will be unavailable from the display while the system is in Continuous mode.
Record all required or desired well test data to an external system.
4. Change
Mode of Operation to Continuous Mode.
To change from Continuous mode to Well Test mode:
1. If desired, save an archive record.
2. Perform all required or desired recalculations.
3. Continuous mode data will be unavailable from the display while the system is in Well Test
mode. Record all required or desired data to an external system.
4. Change
Mode of Operation to Well Test Mode.
