Process Instruments
Accuracy. Repeatability. Optimization.
About Us
Process Instruments founded in 1988, originally represented manufacturers and provided measurement and instrumentation to the oil and gas industry in California. Our head office is located in Bakersfield, CA. with operations in the Sultanate of Oman.
In 1998, we developed a system to validate Automated Well Test systems (AWTs), which successfully checked the performance and improved the accuracy of the customer’s Automated Well Test systems.
Our Expertise
Our specialty is producing a high water cut accuracy throughout the 0-100% range. To achieve this level of accuracy, our unique process samples the oil and water stream using an isokinetic sampler located downstream of a static mixer which blends the oil and water into a homogeneous state. The samples are proportional to the flowrate, determined by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), and analyzed on site by our measurement technicians, following the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (Chapter 8 – Sampling, Section 2 – Standard Practice for Automatic Sampling of Liquid Petroleum). Coriolis meters measure the liquid flow rate and vortex meters measure the gas flow rate. Pressure, temperature, and all other process variables are recorded using an on-line data logger. The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), enables the use of a laptop or handheld device as an operator interface. Well test data is emailed to our customers in an Excel format.
