ARC has been opining that standards and independent testing and validation of the multi-sensorial solutions operating under environmental conditions found in different formations across the world will be key drivers for adoption of multiphase flow metering solutions in upstream oil & gas. Organizations such as TÜV SÜD Limited (NEL), a leading provider of research and development, consultancy and testing to the international oil & gas industry, play an important role in that regard. NEL is establishing a new £16 million Centre of Excellence (“CoE”) for subsea development in Scotland. This CoE, which will be unrivalled anywhere else in the world, will help reinforce NEL's leadership position in multiphase flow measurement.
Led by NEL, this investment will provide Scotland with a unique global capability, build on its position as a leader in subsea engineering and oil & gas innovation, and make a significant contribution to growth ambitions of companies operating within the oil & gas sector.

Designed to provide a new, best-in-class, high pressure multiphase flow test facility, with a test range beyond anything currently available anywhere else in the world, the CoE will enable NEL to provide world leading fluid flow technical services to the global oil & gas production market over the next 25 years.
The center will provide opportunities for company-led industrial projects, development work with SMEs, hands-on training for the industry, and academic research.
Focused predominantly on the £50 billion per annum global subsea sector, the CoE will also offer potential benefits to companies in other sectors such as nuclear power, food and drink, aerospace, and renewable energy.
ARC commends the efforts by organization such as NEL, Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA), and others as well as the independent testing and validation conducted by multiphase flow metering (MPSFM) suppliers themselves as positive and productive actions that will help increase future MPFM adoption by owner-operators and independent E&P firms. ARC plans to release fresh research on the status of the MPFM market later this year and welcomes the opportunity to speak with suppliers, owner-operators, independent E&P firms and other stakeholders to share perspectives on how the market has fared in during this “lower for longer” environment and what the future may hold.
