ABSTRACT:
A method has been discovered for determining the quality of steam reading a subterranean formation through a well bore. The steam is passed through a choke which imparts critical flow characteristics. A turbine meter is calibrated at the surface at known conditions and then positioned in the well where the steam quality value is required. The turbine meter is used in combination with the Saturated Steam Table to determine steam quality.
