    Abstract: A system for measuring flow rate in a pipeline by use of a surface jet pump that receives input from both a high pressure pipeline and a low pressure pipeline. Rather than installing flow meters at any or all of the inputs/output from the SJP which is an expensive undertaking, flow rate is predicted by utilising existing pressure sensors located on the high pressure pipeline, low pressure pipeline and discharge pipeline respectively. A control processor predicts flow rate based on correlations between flow rate and pressure for a given SJP geometry and, for example, utilises momentum, conservation of mass and continuity equations, balanced against the pressure forces and velocity in the SJP.

    Abstract: The apparatus consists of modular stages arranged in series, each stage including a main chamber and a nozzle opening. In practice, a fluid passing through the opening is subject to a pressure drop as it enters a main chamber of a subsequent stage in the series. This multi-stage pressure drop avoids a sharp drop in temperature, as would occur if the total pressure drop was achieved in one stage, that may cause hydrates to form in an oil/gas pipeline.

    Abstract: A commingling device for combining fluid flows includes an outer fluid line for a first fluid having an inlet end and an outlet end, and an inner fluid line for a second fluid having an inlet end and an outlet end. The inner fluid line has an outlet nozzle at said outlet end, the nozzle being mounted substantially axially within the outer fluid line and configured to direct said second fluid towards the outlet end of the outer fluid line. As a result, the first and second fluids flowing through the inner and outer fluid lines are combined and flow together towards the outlet end of the outer fluid line.
