  "term": "Composite stream",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A single production stream that carries several fluids at once, such as oil, gas and water. The individual phase rates cannot be read from the combined flow directly, so a separator splits it or a multiphase meter measures each phase while the mixture flows. In well testing, the composite stream entering a test separator is split into separate oil, gas and water streams for metering.",
