A fluid measurement system and method for determining component mixtures flowing in a conduit such as an oil well. The system includes a sensor wire for location in a well bore; a signal generator for injecting a high frequency signal along the wire; a data acquisition unit to record first reflected signals received from the wire; a system criteria unit to maintain a data set relevant to the system, and a processor unit operable to act upon the first reflected signals and the data set to establish an output indicative of component fluid within the well bore from which the mixture of fluids flowing within the well bore can be determined. An iterative process can be used with waveguide and probabilistic models.
