Multicapacitance flowmeter

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002472

A production logging tool that uses multiple capacitance sensors arranged around the wellbore to measure the dielectric properties of the fluid. By detecting changes in capacitance, it can determine the holdup of different fluid phases, particularly water and hydrocarbons. This provides a cross-sectional view of fluid distribution and flow patterns.
