R-AT-MM is the Argosy Technologies Ltd. new innovative development to provide an integrated flow measurement and quality monitoring solution for upgrading oil separator systems, known as multi well AGZU "Sputnik", in Russia and the CIS. The unique solution, patented and approved by Russia's GOST and Gosgortekhnadzor, is designed for automatic multiphase measurement and quality monitoring of hydrocarbon flow coming out right from the wellhead. The Argosy Technologies system, known as R-AT-MM measuring system, using Micro Motion® Coriolis meters, Argosy's full cut ВСН-АТ water cut analyzers etc. delivers a total solution including high accuracy data acquisition, accumulation, processing and communication as per modern industry requirements and standards.
Challenges facing customers in this upgrade process are identifying a solution that can be used in the rugged and diverse oil fields in the region that offer low maintenance and high reliability, yet are capable of providing accurate fiscal measurement of both the oil and the gas coming off of the AGZU "Sputnik" oil separator. Global and regional service capability is key to Argosy's continued success.
In order to meet the new Russian GOST R 8-615-2005 requirements and also be able to provide a low-cost upgrade solution for the older, existing AGZU Sputniks in the field and new AGZU Saturns (advanced patented Argosy equivalent of the Sputnik) for the new well sites, Argosy has undertaken substantial research and numerous field tests in the West Siberian region since 2003. Argosy engineers have found that its R-AT-MM system which is based on Micro Motion Coriolis mass meters, Argosy's water cut meters, and the key element R-AT-MM controller, best serves the needs of these customers. Designed and produced by Argosy Technologies in Russia, more than 1500 R-AT-MM upgrade systems have been installed and are successfully being operated by the major Russian oil and gas companies.
