Metering and well selection valve group
A metering and well selection valve group, comprising a rotary type metering distributor with multiple shells; after entering the shells, an elbow extends from one side of shells; the part of elbow positioned in the shells is provided with filtering holes. Filtered fluid outlets are provided on the shells. Multiple check and stop dual purpose angle valves are corresponding to the quantity of shells, each one has a valve with an inlet pipe, a valve stem, a valve base, a valve element is provided on the inside of valve base, a handwheel is mounted on the outer end of valve stem. A first spring is mounted between the spring stop and the valve element. The outlet pipe of filtered fluid is communicated with the outlet of filtered fluid on the case body on the rotary metering distributor. Through the first valve, the extended part of elbow is communicated with the blocking removal fluid outlet chamber on the case body on the rotary metering distributor. In said metering valve group, the control valve is a check and stop dual-purpose angle valve which simultaneously has two functions.

Gas control system and method with bracketed deadband
A control system having a primary run and a trim run, each run including an inlet coupled to a main gas supply line, a pneumatically actuated control valve positioned downstream of the inlet, a pneumatic pressure controller having variable deadband adjustment, and an outlet feeding into a gas supply line to the facility. The control valve of the primary run is preferably high-capacity, while the control valve of the trim run is low-capacity. Further, the system and method for controlling gas supply to the facility has a total flow capacity through the primary run and trim run to the facility being defined by C.sub.X, which is the total flow capacity of the primary run (C.sub.P) plus the total flow capacity of the trim run (C.sub.T), and an actual gas flow to the facility being defined by F.sub.X, which is the actual flow of the primary run (F.sub.P) plus the actual flow of the trim run (F.sub.T) and wherein F.sub.X is less than C.sub.X, C.sub.T is less than C.sub.P and F.sub.X is either stable, increasing, or decreasing based on a demand from the facility.

Systems and methods for volume fraction analysis of production fluids utilizing a vertically oriented fluidic separation chamber
System and methods for analyzing a multiphase production fluid include a fluidic supply and analysis unit configured to transition the fluidic separation chamber to a static state after a complete gaseous phase column and a complete oil phase column are formed within the fluidic separation chamber; communicate with the fluidic separation detector to measure the absolute or relative sizes of the complete gaseous phase column and the complete oil phase column; and calculate an oil/gas volume fraction as a function of the measured sizes of the gaseous phase and oil phase columns in the fluidic separation chamber.

SUPPLY-CHAIN CHARACTERISTIC-VECTORS MERCHANDISING SYSTEM AND METHODS
In some configurations, a supply-chain characteristic-vectors merchandising system and a method for an environmental characteristic-vectors of a gas communicating from an upstream amenity to a downstream amenity in a supply-chain may be disclosed. The system may be configured to track oil and/or gas throughout the supply-chain by associating characteristic-vectors (e.g., environmental, operational, physical etc.) of the upstream amenity and the downstream amenity with the energy units of the gas transmitted through the supply-chain.

METERING METHOD BASED ON CONVERTED SLIP RATIO FITTING FOR WET NATURAL GAS
A metering method based on converted slip ratio fitting for wet natural gas is provided. The method includes fitting relationships between a gas Froude number and Venturi differential pressure and Venturi pressure loss with known data to obtain a gas Froude number calculation formula; dividing the known data according to a size of the gas Froude number, and performing piecewise fitting to obtain a piecewise converted slip ratio calculation formula under different gas Froude numbers; performing fitting on the dryness fraction and the converted slip ratio calculation formula; and acquiring, on the basis of the gas Froude number calculation formula, the converted slip ratio calculation formula, an overrated factor calculation formula and a dryness fraction calculation formula, some necessary real-time data to calculate a real-time flow rate of the wet gas. The method avoids using a ray flow meter and has advantages that include accurate metering and no radioactive pollution.
