A completion system for use in a well includes a first completion section and a second section. The first completion section has a sand control assembly to prevent passage of particulates, a first inductive coupler portion, and a sensor positioned proximate to the sand control assembly that is electrically coupled to the first inductive coupler portion. The second section is deployable after installation of the first completion section. It includes a second inductive coupler portion to communicate with the first inductive coupler portion, to enable communication between the first completion section's sensor and another component coupled to the second section.

The invention relates to a device for integrating electrodes () characterizing the flow of a multiphase fluid in a tubing (). The device includes a tube section () made out of an electrically insulating material and bearing the electrodes on its external surface. A metal compensation sheath () encircles the section (), being separated from the latter by an insulating and incompressible fluid. An annular chamber () outside the sheath communicates with the inside of the tubing (). The sheath () is fixed on seal rings () inserted at the ends of the section (), by reinforcement for example.
