Abstract

A method includes directing a wellbore fluid into a flow control assembly coupled to a completion string positioned within a wellbore, the flow control assembly including at least a first fluidic device defining a flow passage, where the flow passage is formed of a material having a known wettability selected to correspond to a component of the wellbore fluid. The pressure change along the flow passage is measured and utilized to determine fluid cut based on a predetermined correspondence between pressure change and component cut for the first fluidic device. Multiple fluidic devices, each selected to have a wettability responsive to a different component of the wellbore fluid, may be aligned in parallel or series to determine the cut of multiple components in the fluid.
