In a hydrocarbon well, a speed measurement is performed at substantially the same level as a determination of the proportions of the phases of the fluid flowing along the well in at least one local region. To this end, local sensors are placed on the hinged arms of a centering device, and a speed-measuring spinner is placed between the arms.

Method and apparatus for acquiring data in a hydrocarbon well

The invention provides a sinker bar for use with a hydrocarbon well apparatus connected to an operating cable through a cable head. The sinker bar includes a bar provided with a longitudinal slot. This slot is adapted to permit lateral engagement of the bar onto the cable, and to connect at one of its ends at the cable head. The bar may also be adapted to connect at its other end to a fishing head. The connection may be twist locked. The invention is applicable in particular with production logging apparatus.
