    摘要: A method for determining a volume fraction of water moving in a predetermined direction along a highly inclined conduit. The method includes measuring a fractional volume of water occupying the conduit at a plurality of locations along the conduit. An oxygen activation velocity of the water flowing in the conduit is determined at a plurality of locations along the conduit. A counting rate of a gamma ray detector used to measure oxygen activation is normalized with respect to the measured fractional volume of water. The normalized count rates of the gamma ray detector are characterized with respect to a relative velocity between the water and the detector. The step of characterizing is performed in portions of the conduit which are sloped so that gravity acts on the water along the predetermined direction. A fraction of the characterized counting rate represented by the oxygen activation counting rates measured along the conduit is determined. The fraction represents the fractional volume of water moving in the predetermined direction.

    摘要: A pulsed neutron source irradiates an earth formation. The irradiation produces N16 from O16 in a fluid in the borehole, and the gamma rays produced by the subsequent decay of N16 are detected by a plurality of spaced apart detectors. The count rates of the detectors are accumulated over a time sampling interval to produce temporal signals. Processing of the temporal signals using correlation, differentiation and/or semblance techniques is used for determination of the flow velocity of one or more fluids in the borehole.

    摘要: This disclosure provides a method for measuring the velocities of water volumes flowing co-directionally in separate conduits nested such as in injection or production well-bores. The method allows an oxygen activation measurement of the velocity of the water flow in the tubing-casing annulus in the presence of water flowing in the tubing string in the same direction. The method allows continuous logging at variable or constant cable velocities or stationary logging. Based on the method of velocity gauging, the method isolates the signal from the annular flow and can produce a continuous log of linear and volumetric annular flow rates with depth.
