Venturi Flowmeter Including a Dynamically Variable Effective Constriction Ratio

A flowmeter may include an inlet configured to couple to a first conduit to receive a flow of a multiphase medium, an outlet configured to couple to a second conduit to deliver the multiphase medium, and a chamber extending between the inlet and the outlet and providing a flow path between the inlet and the outlet. The flowmeter may include a device within the chamber. The device may be configured to move in response to the multiphase medium to dynamically vary an effective constriction ratio of the flow path. The flowmeter may include a circuit configured to determine a flow rate of the multiphase medium based on the effective constriction ratio.

System and method for controlling a chemical dosage

A wellhead system includes a wellhead, a fluid line extending from the wellhead, a branch line fluidly connected to the fluid line at an inlet and at an outlet, an ejector device arranged on the branch line, a tank fluidly connected by a tank fluid line to the ejector device, and a pressure control valve arranged on the branch line upstream of the ejector device. The ejector device is configured to produce a mixture that includes the fluid from the wellhead flowing in the branch fluid line with a chemical flowing the tank fluid line. The ejector device is also configured to discharge the mixture downstream of the ejector device. The pressure control valve is configured to control the flow of a fluid entering the ejector device.
