Abstract (en)

[origin: US2014202240A1] A well flow velocity measurement method can include transmitting an acoustic signal through at least one fluid composition in a well, detecting velocities of the acoustic signal in both opposite directions along an optical waveguide in the well, the optical waveguide being included in a distributed acoustic sensing system, and determining an acoustic velocity in the fluid composition based on the velocities of the acoustic signal. Another well flow velocity measurement method can include propagating at least one pressure pulse through at least one fluid composition in a well, detecting a velocity of the pressure pulse along an optical waveguide in the well, the optical waveguide being included in a distributed acoustic sensing system, and determining an acoustic velocity in the fluid composition based on the velocity of the pressure pulse.
