Multiphase flow meter case study using artificial neural network in petroleum industry

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method can provide estimation product especially to design and analyze multiphase flow smart control in the petroleum industry. The conventional measurement of multiphase flow is very difficult due to mixing flow rate total that are complicated in output inlet and outlet pressure Separator (FSB – V – 04) Foxtrot well Platform, Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) West Java Indonesia. Based on the problem, this study aimed to estimate Flow Rate Gas (Qg), Flow Rate Oil (Qo) and Flow Rate Water (Qw) over 2012 and 2013. The observation data was taken from Department of Engineering Construction Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) Indonesia in eight-month observation. The Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) was used in ANN architecture to obtain training result. Multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) structure and Levenberg Marquardt (LM) algorithms are suggested to process the data. The result showed the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value of output estimation reached 6.33E10 and 98.8 % of Variance Accounted For (VAF) during training sectio
