A method of measuring a dry gas flow from hydrocarbon wells. The hydrocarbon wells produce a stream which contains liquids and natural gas. The method comprises providing a differential flow measurement device (orifice) located at a well site containing the hydrocarbon wells. The method further includes testing the stream for gas composition and physical characteristics. Additionally, the method comprises measuring a static temperature (T) of the stream, measuring a static pressure (Ps), and measuring a pressure differential (dP) in the differential flow measurement device (orifice). The method includes computing the liquid-gas ratio (LGR) of the stream, computing the wet gas flow rate (Qw) of the stream, computing a first dry gas flow rate (Qd1) and a second dry gas flow rate and utilizing a iterative process to correct and obtain the dry gas flow rate. The data may be transmitted to another location.

L'invention concerne un procédé de mesure d'un écoulement de gaz sec à partir de puits d'hydrocarbures. Les puits d'hydrocarbures produisent un courant qui contient des liquides et du gaz naturel. Le procédé consiste à utiliser un dispositif de mesure d'écoulement différentiel (orifice) situé au niveau d'un site de puits contenant les puits d'hydrocarbures. Le procédé comprend en outre le dosage du courant pour évaluer la composition du gaz et les caractéristiques physiques. De plus, le procédé comprend la mesure d'une température statique (T) du courant, la mesure d'une pression statique (Ps) et la mesure d'une différence de pression (dP) dans le dispositif de mesure d'écoulement différentiel (orifice). Le procédé comprend le calcul du rapport liquide-gaz (LGR) du courant, le calcul du débit de gaz humide (Qw) du courant, le calcul d'un premier débit de gaz sec (Qd1) et d'un second débit de gaz sec et l'utilisation d'un traitement itératif pour corriger et obtenir le débit de gaz sec. Les données peuvent être transmises vers un autre emplacement.
