Vendor selection
Primary Reasons for selecting Agar
Results in multiple tests showed superior performance at the field conditions. Several
design and conceptual differences were connived as important:

Overall assessment
Under worst conditions, MPFM has still beaten the
conventional well testing separators, for data reliability and
frequency, and for ease of operation. Also from a cost
effectiveness perspective
The only way to go as the number of wells and production
area increases dramatically.
Incorporation into an automated well test and field datas
capture system, was not a problem.
Systems approach is required for better wells'
performance understanding.
