ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the bubble point pressure and the true flow rate of a fluid in a flow line of a flowing well is provided, wherein the method includes modifying fluid pressure in a predetermined region of the flow line, generating pressure data responsive to the flow line, obtaining apparent flow rate data responsive to the pressure data, examining the apparent flow rate data to identify a discontinuity in the apparent flow rate data and generating true flow rate data responsive to the discontinuity.
