The current primary options to measure temperature pressureand ow is complex, and requires multiple pieces of equipmentincluding a tee and zip ties. lso the accuracy of the currentoptions drastically decreases in some cases after only one hour.Current meters require replacement during jobs and offsite repairor rebuild. The cost of violating government regulations is difficultto quantify but the effects could include downtime, nes and evenlitigation liability. This can have longstanding negative effects onyour company. lso with all the government regulations on safetyand monitoring it is important to accurately monitor and measurethe produced uids with one meter.

FMC Technologies can help. Our Weco Turbine Flow Meter is

engineered with simplicity, safety, accuracy and reliability inmind. It accurately measures ow, pressure and temperature inone piece of equipment. It is also capable of handling ow back,cementing and hydraulic fracturing applications. Our meter willallow you to complete a job with one meter, and allow you tochange the internal cartridge on site, reducing inventory costs, and3rd party spending.

With ow back, cementing and hydraulic fracturing operationsbecoming more sophisticated and capital-intensive, liability riskshave never been higher. Flow rate, temperature and pressuremeasurements are vital to the success of your job, and forcomplying with government regulations. The Weco Turbine FlowMeter will improve your bottom line performance, and improve theaccuracy at your wellsite.

Markets Flow Back

Due to new environmental restrictions and governmentalregulations, operators are required to monitor andmeasure the produced uids of a wellsite. To solve thisnew challenge FMC Technologies developed the WecoTurbine Flow Meter. This will allow service providers andoperators to measure the produced uids on ow back

jobs with one meter.

Cementing

From cement slurry to other forms of abrasives FMCTechnologies is targeting a safe and sustainable WecoTurbine Flow meter to accurately measure the quantityof cement pumped down hole. In a postMancondoenvironment it is critical we understand all uids being

pumped down hole. Frac

Flow meters have been implemented in the fracturingprocess for years. FMC Technologies has leveraged ourinhouse research and development teams in collaborationwith our global pressure pumping customers to solve themost difficult problems on today's fracturing sites.

Problems and Solutionsccurate Measurement of Fluids

Today's best meters at best offer average reliability in termsof accuracy. Majority of the time this means you are usingincorrect data to make decisions on your wellsite.

FMC Technologies purpose built a Weco Turbine Flow Meterand extensively tested this meter against three of theindustry's top performers. We utilized Invalco eldproventurbine meter design to make the most accurate meter onthe market. The results will show you how accurate theWeco Turbine Flow Meter is compared to our competition.

Reducing the amount of equipment required

Today companies are using multiple devices to measuretemperature, pressure and ow, increasing the amount ofequipment required and increasing the safety hazards on awellsite.

FMC Technologies Weco Turbine Flow Meter will allow youto measure ow, pressure and temperature in one piece ofequipment. The Turbine Flow Meter also features a Weco1502 connection allowing straightforward hook-up to othercomponents used in hydraulic fracturing operations togreatly reduce installation time.

Production Optimization

Currently companies are forced to replace the current metermultiple times during a cementing stage. This is becauseexisting competitive offerings lack quality and innovation andare incapable of meeting customer requirements by lastingthrough an entire cementing stage.

FMC Technologies Weco Turbine Flow Meter allows you tocomplete an entire cementing stage without replacing themeter or internal cartridge.

Life Cycle Costs

Today companies are forced to send meters to 3rd partyfacilities for repair or rebuild, forcing companies to keepmultiple meters in stock, therefore increasing in inventory cost.

FMC Technologies Weco Turbine Flow Meter will allow youto change the internal cartridge onsite, reducing inventorycosts, and 3rd party spending.

1. The chart depicts actual test data on anitrogen injection job in Maurice, L . TheWeco turbine meter mounts pressure andtemperature transducers directly to themeter body.

2. This gives a more accurate readingthan our competition at less cost. Thecompetitors do not offer metermountedpressure and temperature. The endcustomer must use Tees upstream anddownstream of the meter. The chart showsthe variances in readings when taken atthe ow meter or up/downstream of theow meter.

3. The graph also shows, at low ow rates,how the Weco meter registers ow rateswhere the competitors meter showedratings of zero.
