Abstract

In the area of oil one of the main tasks consists of separate water and raw gas, from the crude, in the present work an analysis of the separation process is made in a separator of three-phase oil test installed in the Ecuadorian orient to determine the efficiency of separation that is obtained under the same conditions of operation when using instrumentation of different technology. In order to obtain data in the field investigation, it is proposed to test the vessel with fluids from five wells of different flow and with an API grade ranging between 18º and 30º, for which two types of tests are done in the separator, the one with a buoy interface meter installed inside the vessel and the other test under the same operating conditions a guided wave instrument is used. To determine the efficiency of each method used, the amount of raw water particles in the discharge line is analyzed with laboratory tests, so it is verified that when using the instrument of the buoy type the average BSW in the discharge line is 70% while with the guided wave instrument the results are much more satisfactory with an average BSW of 8%.
