    Abstract: A water cut measurement tool includes an elongated tubular section configured to flow a multiphase fluid including water and hydrocarbons. The elongated tubular section includes two portions. A first portion has a first diameter. A second portion is axially coupled to the first portion and has a second diameter less than the first diameter. The second portion can receive the multiphase fluid from the first portion. A first electrode is attached to an inner wall of the second portion. A second electrode is attached to the inner wall of the second portion and is positioned diametrically opposite to the first electrode. The two electrodes are configured to measure an impedance of the multiphase fluid flowed through the second portion responsive to a current flowed from the first electrode to the second electrode, and provide the impedance as an output.
