A Reduced Risk Alternative for Water Entry Detection in High Water Producing Horizontal Wells

Maximising the potential of a producing well requires<br>knowledge of the fluid types and flow rates entering the<br>wellbore. Optimum and accurate determination of multiple<br>phase fluid entry requires two primary measurements: 1)<br>holdup, or the cross-sectional area in the well occupied by the<br>phase of interest, and 2) velocity, or the speed at which the<br>available phase is flowing.
