ABSTRACT:
A method of determining the net volume of water and oil in a flow stream including the steps of measuring the gross volume of fluid flowing in the stream, periodically collecting from the stream samples of the oil and water mixture, treating each sample of the oil and water mixture to cause any entrained gas bubbles to be absorbed in the mixture or reduced to selected maximum size and entrained emulsion droplets are reduced in size, passing the treated sample of oil and water mixture through a sonic apparatus, measuring the speed of sound transmission of the mixture within the sonic apparatus and determining from the speed of sound transmission the relative composition of water and oil in the mixture, and calculating the gross volumetric oil and water utilizing the measurements obtained from the sonic apparatus and from the measurement of the gross volume of fluid.
