Capacitance Meter
Capacitance Meter :
(n.) Production Logging. Another term for holdup meter, a device for determining the water holdup in a producing well by measuring the capacitance orimpedance of the fluid. The holdup meter is used to produce a capacitance log. Since water has a high dielectric constant, and hence capacitance, it can be distinguished from oil or gas. The meter is a coaxial capacitor, with fluid flowing between a central probe and an external cage that act as electrodes. The meter has often been combined with a packer flowmeter or a diverter flowmeter, so that all the fluids in the well pass through the meter. Syn: Diverter Flowmeter, Holdup Meter, Water-Cut Meter.
