Patent

CA 2306059

A system for evaluating multiphase fluid flow in a wellbore. Two distinct AC signals are injected into a fluid. One AC signal originates from an electrode in ohmic contact with the fluid, and the other AC signal originates from an electrode capacitively coupled to the fluid. The geometric factors between the electrode pairs are selected to distinguish between different constituents within the wellbore fluids. The output impedance of the ohmic transmitter is low so that the AC signal from the capacitive transmitter is shunted to signal ground in conductive fluids. A single detector can measure the fraction of conductive water covering the detector electrode as well as the dielectric constant of an oil and gas mixture. Arrays of such detector electrodes can measure the holdups and velocities of the constituent fluids in a flowing multiphase fluid.
