MLCAN's AI-powered Smart Flow Meter replaces costly test separators with continuous, per-well multiphase measurement giving operators the data to make smarter decisions, faster.
The energy industry relies on shared test separators equipment that is expensive to operate, provides only periodic snapshots, and cannot monitor individual wells continuously.
Test separators serve multiple wells on a rotating basis, leaving operators with stale data sometimes weeks old that doesn't reflect current production conditions.
Deploying, maintaining, and operating test separators requires significant capital expenditure and ongoing labour costs that scale poorly as fields grow.
Without continuous data, operators cannot accurately track or optimize CO₂ and methane outputs a growing regulatory and sustainability liability.
Shared measurement means declining wells go undetected until production targets are visibly missed. Real-time data per well would catch issues immediately.
A compact, wellhead-mounted device combining advanced multi-sensor arrays with embedded AI to deliver continuous, phase-separated flow data no separator required.
Distributed sensors capture electrical, acoustic, and pressure signatures simultaneously across the pipe cross-section, providing rich input data for AI classification.
Trained models run directly on the device, eliminating cloud latency. Phase fractions oil, gas, and water are computed continuously in real time.
The meter installs directly at the wellhead in-line. Operators get individual well data without diverting flow or scheduling separator time.
Standard protocols ensure data flows directly into existing operator dashboards, production management software, and regulatory reporting systems.
Every Smart Flow Meter undergoes rigorous testing throughout the build process, including final calibration in our flow loop laboratory. By fusing data from multiple sensor modalities with embedded AI, the device resolves complex multiphase dynamics continuously, without manual sampling or downtime.
Calibrated readings hold steady through extended operation, even when foam or emulsion would throw off conventional meters.
Operators see production changes the moment they happen, not days later, making optimization decisions faster and easier.
One compact unit replaces equipment that would otherwise take up significant pad space.
Cuts the upfront and ongoing costs tied to building and running shared separator infrastructure.
A single in-line device means fewer connections, fewer moving parts, and a simpler wellsite layout overall.
Skipping the separation step removes a major source of flaring at the wellhead.
Designed to run reliably without daily staff visits, ideal for unmanned or hard-to-reach locations.
