ABSTRACT:
A reference is established indicating the functional relation between differing proportions of one fluid phase within a mixture of a plurality of fluid phases to the dielectric response of that mixture. Measurements are taken within a well wherein the well fluid consists of multiple fluid phases, of the flow rate, density and dielectric response of the well fluid. The dielectric response measurement is related to the established reference to determine the apparent proportion or volumetric fraction of one fluid phase of the well fluid. The density measurement is utilized to determine the volumetric fraction of the same phase of the well fluid. These equivalent volumetric fraction determinations are utilized to adjust the established reference in response to the density-determined volumetric fractions such that subsequent dielectric response measurements within the well fluid may be correlated to such adjusted reference and thus may be translated into appropriate volumetric fraction values with improved accuracy. These volumetric fraction determinations may then be related to the flow rate measurement made within the well to obtain the flow rates of the individual phases of the well fluid at the depths at which the described measurements were made.
