ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining flow rates of well fluid constituents on a much smaller scale than with prior art equipment. Rather than testing the total fluid stream, a sample stream portion is diverted from the total fluid stream and tested. The sample fluid stream portion is separated into its various constituents, and the mass flow rate of each constituent is determined. The total mass flow rate of the total fluid stream is measured and compared with the total mass flow rate of fluid flowing through the sample stream portion, so the total flow rate of each constituent may be calculated.
