FloView Holdup Measurement Tool

Identify and locate fluids in complex flow regimes for each producing interval

Interpret and diagnose well problems

The FloView holdup measurement tool helps you understand wellbore flow. The complex flow regimes in deviated and horizontal wells make interpretation difficult or impossible when using conventional production logging sensors.

Determine water holdup

The four FloView probes take independent measurements of the multiphase fluids in each quadrant of the pipe cross section. When a probe pierces impinging droplets of oil or gas in a water-continuous phase or water droplets in an oil-continuous phase, a binary output signal is generated. These signals allow determination of the local water holdup and number of hydrocarbon bubbles arriving at each probe or bubble count. The probes cannot discriminate between oil and gas.

Diagnose in highly deviated and horizontal wells

FloView Plus service combines two FloView tools to double coverage in the pipe cross section. The resulting images of the flow regimes and holdup distribution allow complex diagnosis in highly deviated and horizontal wells.

The FloView tool is combinable with the conventional production logging sensor suite. FloView data complement three-phase flow analysis, especially in combination with a Gradiomanometer profile of specific gravity.
