Metering / Test Separator // Well Testing & Production
METERING & TEST SEPARATOR FOR OIL & GAS PRODUCTION TESTING.
Convert a mixed wellstream into separated phase streams ready for project-specified measurement with an integrated Separation + Measurement package. Vessel design, metering points, controls, piping and skid integration are configured around the well conditions and measurement objective.

Integrated test train
Vessel, pipework, instruments, project-specified metering points, controls and skid structure coordinated before shipment.
What the package does
From raw wellstream to actionable production data.
A test separator package is not specified only by vessel geometry. The separation duty and measurement objective should be defined together for the required production-test scope.
Wellstream
Fluctuating oil, gas, water, solids, pressure, and temperature conditions enter the package.
Separation
Configured internals, retention, controls, and outlets separate phases for stable downstream handling.
Measurement
Gas, oil, and water measurement points are selected around the test purpose and reporting need.
Decision Data
A coordinated separation and measurement train supports production testing and operations.
Define the measurement objective together with the separation duty. Metering points, instruments, controls and skid scope should be confirmed against the actual wellstream and project requirements.
Visual Engineering Evidence
Separation and measurement should be engineered as one train.
Use a P&ID, process-flow diagram, or approved technical illustration here to show how the inlet, separator, phase outlets, metering points and controls relate to each other.
Configuration decision
Two-phase or three-phase?
The right choice follows your fluid behavior, test objective, operating envelope, and measurement outputs needed.
Configuration A
Two-Phase Test Separator
Typically considered where the test requires separation and measurement of gas and liquid phases, while water handling is not a separate measurement requirement.
- Focused gas and liquid separation and measurement duty
- Package arrangement based on process and access requirements
- Suitable controls and safety philosophy reviewed with your team
Configuration B
Three-Phase Test Separator
Typically selected when gas, oil, and water require distinct separation and measurement paths, or when water cut and interface behavior are important.
- Dedicated consideration for gas, oil, and water outlets
- Interface control and internals aligned with fluid conditions
- Supports a broader production-test measurement objective
Typical package scope
Built as a test package, not assembled as loose equipment.
Scope is confirmed against your P&ID, battery limits, code requirements, instruments, and destination requirements.

Test separator vessel, selected internals, nozzles, supports, and inspection consideration.
Piping & Valves
Interconnecting pipework, isolation, control, relief, drain, vent, and operating valves.
Instrumentation & Metering
Pressure, temperature, level, interface and flow measurement, with signal handling as required by the project.
Controls & Skid
Control panel, logic, cabling, structural skid, access provisions and factory testing where included in the agreed scope.

He50 Project Evidence
Three-phase separation, phase measurement and skid integration in one project package.
The He50 project reference documents a three-phase separator skid designed to separate water-bearing crude into oil, gas and water, with the separated phases measured before export. The package was engineered around modular skid fabrication, transport and rapid site installation.
