Abstract:
A method and device to measure production contribution from a zone of a wellbore. The flow device include a first cylindrical portion having a first outer diameter and a second cylindrical portion having a second outer diameter smaller than the first outer diameter. The flow device includes a first pressure sensor configured to measure a first pressure at an exterior of the first portion and a second pressure sensor configured to measure a second pressure at an exterior of the second portion. The flow device is positioned adjacent a zone of a wellbore and the first and second pressures are measured. The fluid flow in the wellbore adjacent to the zone may be determined from the first and second pressures. The flow device diverts substantially all fluid flow in the wellbore around an exterior of the device. The device may include a sensor to measure the conductivity of wellbore fluid.
