Abstract
Systems and components thereof are provided for analyzing multiphase production fluids. The system comprises a fluidic separation chamber, a fluidic separation chamber valve, fluidic piping configured to supply multiphase production fluid to the fluidic separation chamber through the fluidic separation chamber valve, a plurality of composite sensing modules vertically spaced within the fluidic separation chamber, and a fluidic supply and analysis unit. Each of the sensing modules comprising an inductive sensor comprising opposing inductive sensing elements displaced from one another across a vertically extending measurement portion of the fluidic separation chamber, and a capacitive sensor comprising opposing capacitive sensing elements displaced from one another across the vertically extending measurement portion of the fluidic separation chamber. The capacitive sensor of each of the plurality of composite sensing modules to detect a height Hof an oil phase column in the multiphase production fluid in the fluidic separation chamber.
