STAVANGER, Norway -- Roxar will supply its subsea Wetgas meters to Cameron's Subsea Systems division. Cameron will install one Roxar subsea Wetgas meter per well in the Rosetta gas field, offshore Egypt. The joint venture, Rashid Petroleum Co. (Rashpetco) and BG Group, has developed and operated the Rosetta field.

This deal follows the successful 2004 and 2005 installations of 15 meters in the neighboring Simian/Sienna and Sapphire fields, and four Roxar topside meters in the Rosetta field.

The meter is the latest in wet gas metering technology, providing real-time, accurate measurement of hydrocarbon flow rates and water production, as well as online detection of formation water breakthrough.

The ability to measure water in small amounts from this meter is an important input parameter for controlling hydrates, corrosion, and scale in a subsea production system. The formation water detection meter, enables the operator to prevent loss of production from the well.
