The Norwegian Society for Oil and Gas Measurement (NFOGM) first developed a handbook to serve as a guideline and provide a common basis for the in-line multiphase measurement system. With help from the manufacturers and the users the first revision of the handbook was published in 1995. Summary: The need for multiphase flow measurement in the oil and gas production industry has been evident for many years. A number of such meters have been developed since the early eighties by research organizations, meter manufacturers, oil and gas production companies and others. Different technologies and various combinations of technologies have been employed, and prototypes have been quite dissimilar in design and function. Some lines of development have been abandoned, whereas a number of meters have become commercially available, and the number of applications and users is rapidly increasing. Since the first Handbook of multiphase metering (hereafter simply called the Handbook) was published in 1995, multiphase flow measurement has further matured and is now being considered a separate discipline in the oil and gas flow measurement society. New applications of multiphase flow meters (MPFMs) have emerged, from simply being a replacement of the conventional test separator shared by a number of wells, towards more compact and low cost meters with application on a one-per-well basis and installations both topside and subsea. Meters from different manufacturers will always differ in their design, function and capabilities. In order to promote mutual understanding of MPFMs and their applications among users, manufacturers and others, some form of guidelines or user manual seemed appropriate and was the reason for publishing the first Handbook in 1995 (Dykesteen, 1995). The Handbook was written to serve that purpose and to help provide a common basis for the field of in-line multiphase flow measurement systems. It was not the intention at that stage that this document should be regarded as a final report. Rather, it was hoped that it would initiate more international work in which the issues and topics raised here can be further developed. Since the multiphase flow metering technologies and applications have developed significantly since 1995, the Norwegian Society for Oil and Gas Measurement (NFOGM) therefore in 2003 decided to update the Handbook to reflect these improvements and to make it the main guide for state-of-the-art multiphase flow measurement.
