Water Cut Monitors Market: Introduction
Water cut monitors measure the water content of hydrocarbons and crude oil while they flow through a pipeline
Water cut monitors are mostly used in the petroleum industry to determine the water cut of oil flowing from a well, the oil produced from a separator, and the crude oil transferred in pipelines and loading tankers. The water cut is the proportion of water produced to the total volume of liquids produced from an oil well.
Water cut monitors use various types of technologies to measure the water cut. However, dielectric measurement by using microwave or radio frequency and near infrared (NIR) measurement are extensively used technologies.
The use of radio frequency is widely practiced owing to the large difference between the dielectric constants of oil and water
The use of water cut monitors maximizes production by reducing the water level and decreasing the retention time. These monitors have low maintenance, good accuracy, and long-term repeatability.
Key Drivers of Global Water Cut Monitors Market
Demand for water cut monitors is increasing, owing to rise in investments in automation and digitization of the oil & gas sector. Moreover, offshore exploration and drilling activities are rising, due to increasing demand for crude oil worldwide.
