Capacitance meter

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004253

A downhole logging tool that measures the dielectric constant of fluids in a wellbore, providing an indication of water content. It operates by detecting changes in capacitance between two electrodes as different fluids pass through. This measurement is typically expressed as a percentage of water in the fluid mixture.
