More Information
Summary:A production logging tool comprises an elongated cylindrical body of longitudinal axis, the body carrying an articulated dual arms deploying arrangement comprising two deploying arms, the deploying arms being operable from a retracted configuration into a vertically extended configuration. At least one arm carries a segmented water level capacitance probe comprising multiple water level capacitance sensors sensitive to a water content of a multiphase fluid mixture flowing in a hydrocarbon well. The water level capacitance sensors are positioned along the arm such as to be positioned at different height from a bottom to a top of a highly deviated or horizontal section of the hydrocarbon well.
