Origins of the Concept
The origin of Neftemer dates back to the late 1970s, when oil companies were becoming interested in developing
multiphase meters. The basis is a nucleonic two-phase meter that had been developed for the Russian nuclear industry by
the Space Institute in Leningrad, and it was realised that a similar approach would work for the oil and gas industry.
Early Prototypes
For over the 25 years, prototype systems were built and tested in the Byelorussia oil fields, with the objective of
delivering a robust and cost-effective multiphase meter suitable for land-based wells typically producing less than
1000 bbl/day, with relatively high water cuts. This concept was developed further by Complex-Resource in St. Petersburg.

Neftemer Multiphase Meter Installations
Currently, several hundred wells in Siberian oil fields are monitored by single or multiple versions of the Neftemer Multiphase
Meter.
Units are also in place in Canadian oil fields, including successful CHOP (Cold Heavy Oil Production) and
SAGD (Stream Assisted Gravity Drainage) installations.
The benefits include:-
- Neftemer's Multiphase Meter is vital for the future cost-effective production of oil and gas.
- Neftemer's unit dramatically reduces the costs of traditional three-phase measurement, enabling companies to reduce
their installation and operating costs.
