MeterSuite - Honeywells Metering Solution

Oil & Gas producers and processors everywhere need

to know accurately the amounts of product going over

the fence, into a pipeline, onto a truck, barge or ship.

Government Tax Authorities need to know becausetheir revenue depends on it. In recent times, many oil &

gas producers, refiners or chemical processors have

used disparate, bespoke systems for such measure-

ments. Todays faster changing and cost constrained

environment requires a new approach to metering; one

that provides all the benefits of a centralized solution

such as commonality and scalability but most of all

improved monitoring, management and reporting pro-

cesses that supplies accurate data to the whole opera-

tion.

MeterSuite Solutions delivered by oil and gas

and metering experts

The key to any successful project in the Oil and Gas

industry is the utilisation of specialist engineers familiar

with the industry and its stringent working practices.

To ensure that Honeywell delivers on its promise of

unrivalled oil and gas expertise we have signed an

exclusive agreement with the UK's leading metering

solution provider, Swinton Technology. Swinton

Technology has been an essential part of the

MeterSuite development team and will be responsible

for delivering metering solutions in partnership with

Honeywell on the Experion platform; providing an unri-

valled combination of leading edge technology and

application expertise.

MeterSuite: The metering function is changing

Several changes in the industry are driving the need for

a better metering solution.

1. Meter smaller streams cost effectively

The oil & gas and downstream industries often need

to meter streams that are relatively small. Accurate

metering of smaller streams such as for allocation

or custody transfer purposes has often been un-

economical until now. Marginal oil fields and exchange

of gas streams to allow more gas recovery, in particu-

lar in mature fields, require lower cost metering, due to

marginal fields and sub-sea tie-backs. Growing multi-

participants and independents in oil operations, as well

as assets changing hands, all require metering of more

streams.

2. A metering technology for the 21st century

The original equipment for existing metering systems is

often reaching end of life. Obsolescence issues have

compounded the situation. The accuracy requirements

of metering systems have for many years required

dedicated flow computers. The original technology

assumptions that accuracy, safe measurement and

reliability required a separate, closed system are no

longer valid. The industry is looking to do more than

like-for-like replacement of dedicated, closed architec-

ture systems. Open technology can now provide

added benefits in a modernized operation. A replace-

ment must therefore provide a forward path of de-

velopment, support, and improvement.

3. More capabilities from new systems

For new installations, the industry is looking for integra-

ted solutions, instead of separate, higher cost dedica-

ted systems. A solution that integrates the metering

function into the control system architecture providesthe basic answer. An added benefit comes from the

cost effectiveness of such a solution, from installation,

simple configuration and support / upgradeability over

the long term.

A full solution for your metering needs

MeterSuite offers you all the components you need,

and the technology you can rely on:

Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) server

Experion user station Flow computing inside the C200 controller

AGA, API and ISO standard calculations libraries

Flexible I/O choices from analog to HART

to

FOUNDATION Fieldbus and others

Start small and scale: add flow metering for a new

stream without adding computing hardware

Metering implementation expertise

Benefits

All capabilities of the Experion platform are

available. One can easily integrate new capabilities tomanage the metering function:

Flexible reporting

Web-based access

Single point of configuration

Advanced Trending

Scale up easily, adding streams to meter

MeterSuite uses the C200 as the flow computer.

Additional flow computing calculations can easily be

configured in the software, linking in new instrument

inputs to results.

Fewer systems to maintain, requiring less

training More functions inside the control system

itself means no external system and custom interface

to maintain. This eliminates a separate database,

configuration, and graphics building effort common

with dedicated metering systems.

Better overall use of the system A standard user

interface encourages users to observe its operation

more closely.

Web access to metering information, across the

enterprise Or between businesses, such as part-

ners in specific fields, with regulator and tax authori-

ties. Having more metering information available

makes it easy to access related information, and allfrom authorized web-page users on your Intranet.

Choice of I/O for metering The C200 controller

supports a wide variety of I/O, from analog, remote

I/O to FOUNDATION Fieldbus and HART, allowing

metering to follow your chosen approach to I/O.

Keep up with business changes The ISO, API

and AGA calculations are loaded into the C200 and

upgradeable, as for any other Experion application.

This allows your metering system to easily keep up

with changing business and regulatory requirements.

Technology and Innovation are increasingly important to the future success of the UK Continental Shelf and we

encourage the use of new solutions like that proposed by Honeywell for Fiscal metering applications. Honeywell'sExperion PKS provides a rich feature-set for trending, reporting, archiving and auditability functions that are

invaluable for everyday process applications and may prove to be equally beneficial as part of a fully integrated

"fiscal" metering solution.
