Abstract The oil and natural gas production market is heavily regulated with specifications that are almost always defined and valid for each producing country. In all the focus is to ensure accurate and complete results in volumes produced but with specificities of each location. In Brazil this regulation was created in the year 2000 (Joint Ordinance No. 001 between the National Petroleum Agency - ANP and the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology - INMETRO) and in the 2013 review it was specified that liquid hydrocarbon flow meters should be calibrated with fluid under the conditions closest to those found in the operation considering density, viscosity, flow, pressure and temperature. However, the type of oil produced in Brazilian fields typically has high viscosity and there is an additional aspect due to the use of FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) type production platforms: flow to tankers occurs at high flow rates. There are several restrictions in laboratories worldwide to meet these conditions (high viscosity with high flow) and so the purpose of this paper is to present a proposal that technically meets the conditions imposed by Brazilian regulations and that will serve as a reference for operations in other similar fields. The project considers the laboratory should be able to perform calibrations up to 3200 m^3/h, oil densities above 0.88, with flexibility for changing calibration fluid, pressure and temperature control and viscosities up to 700 cP. To this end, a broad evaluation was carried out with solution providers and a research group within the university to technical support

高流量和高粘度液体烃流量计校准：新设施的概念设计

摘要 石油和天然气生产市场受到严格的规范，这些规范几乎总是为每个生产国定义和有效的。总而言之，重点是确保准确和完整的结果，但每个位置都有其特殊性。在巴西，该法规于 2000 年制定（国家石油局 - ANP 和国家计量、质量和技术研究所 - INMETRO 之间的第 001 号联合法令），并且在 2013 年的审查中规定液态烃流量计应在考虑密度、粘度、流量、压力和温度的最接近操作中发现的条件下使用流体进行校准。然而，巴西油田生产的石油类型通常具有高粘度，并且由于使用 FPSO（浮式生产储存和卸载）类型的生产平台，还有一个额外的方面：以高流速流向油轮。为了满足这些条件（高粘度和高流动性），世界范围内的实验室存在一些限制，因此本文的目的是提出一项建议，该建议在技术上满足巴西法规规定的条件，并将作为其他操作的参考。类似的领域。该项目认为实验室应该能够进行高达 3200 m^3/h 的校准，油密度在 0.88 以上，可以灵活地改变校准流体、压力和温度控制以及高达 700 cP 的粘度。为此，
