How to select a MPP ?

1. Treat gas as equivalent liquid volume

2. Re-calculate gas volume to pump inlet

conditions

3. Add gas flow to oil and water flow

to get the total inlet volume

4. With the obtained total inlet volume and the differential pressure
required select pump size out of the performance diagrams
