Abstract

Systems and methods for analyzing a multiphase production fluid includes a pipeline, a fluidic measurement chamber, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, an actuating unit, and a fluidic control unit. The actuating unit is partially disposed in the fluidic measurement chamber and is movable between an expansion stage in the fluidic measurement chamber and a compression stage in the fluidic measurement chamber. The fluidic control unit is in communication with the fluidic measurement chamber, the pressure sensor, the temperature sensor, and the actuating unit. The fluidic control unit is configured to communicate with the pipeline to supply the multiphase production fluid to the fluidic measurement chamber. The fluidic control unit is further configured to communicate with the pressure sensor to detect a first pressure of the multiphase production fluid in the fluidic measurement chamber at the expansion stage.
