Abstract
Accuracy of well performance data increases the chance of success in field management. Similarity water-cut monitoring helps to control the well during drilling and production stages. In this paper it was tried to design an experimental setup and particular tests. Then based on the gathered data, the effect of flow water-cut changes in the test pipe on flow electrical resistivity value between two electrodes which are placed in the pipe is investigated. The higher water cut was, the less flow resistivity measured. Rate of mixture resistivity decreasing is higher in lower water cut (between 8 to 50%). Also two matched equations are gained to predict the water cut for known flow electrical resistivity in two different range of water cut.
