Welcome to RPSEA Project DW1301 - Improvements to Deepwater Subsea Measurement.

The objective of RPSEA Project DW1301 is to improve the recovery from deepwater reservoirs beyond current capabilities. Better information on well performance will be required and achieved through continuous measurement information on individual wells.

Many of the gaps that provide the essence of this project were initially identified through the DeepStar Project 8302, Improved Multiphase Metering for Subsea Tiebacks. The momentum generated by this work provided the main driving force to eradicate these technology gaps, and pointed the way forward toward the ultimate solutions – to this project in particular.

Achieving success in this project will have a major impact on the future development of deepwater petroleum resources for the United States. Without these solutions, reservoirs will be depleted in ways that leave millions of barrels of oil and MMBTU of gas in the ground, while the risk of revenue misallocation and lost royalties will remain high.
