Real-World Applications


Subsea Drilling Operations

In subsea drilling operations, the Subsea Gear Meter is essential for accurately measuring the flow rate of drilling fluids, ensuring optimal performance and safety. Installed within the subsea control system, the gear meter is crucial for monitoring and adjusting the flow of hydraulic lubricants. The gear meter’s sealed electronics and robust and reliable design ensures it can withstand the harsh subsea environment, providing critical information to operators for effective and safe drilling operations.

Blowout Prevention

Snubbing operations typically involves valve actuation during well shut-in. Due to the bi-directional nature of the hydraulic flow in actuator lines, they require meters that can read in both directions and provide encoder-like counts for position indication. The Subsea Gear Meter meets the challenges of this, as well as the harsh environmental conditions and often sour service with high H2S levels due to its robust materials of construction.

 

 

ROV Operation

Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) provide a means for oil drilling companies to perform maintenance on subsea equipment, enhancing efficiencies and safety. Incorporated into these RVs are specialized instruments and tools to perform functions at the sea floor, such as valve actuation. The Subsea Gear Meter is built to withstand the extreme conditions of deep water operations at depths up to 10,000 ft and internal pressures up to 15,000 psi.
