Abstract
The basics of biphasic flow have been covered in Chap. 4. In this chapter, the practical applications of the holdup equation will be covered. The purpose is to equip the analyst with a practical tool with which to analyze a combination of a flowmeter log and a holdup log (whether this be from a gradiomanometer or other tool). The methods described will allow the analyst to calculate the flow rate for each phase of a biphasic mixture at each point in the well and hence to deduce the production of each phase from each perforated interval. This is an essential step in quantitative analysis without which remedial action cannot be planned properly.
