Abstract
A system for water cut sensing in an oil-water flow includes a laser-based spectroscopy sensor and a computer system. The laser-based spectroscopy sensor includes a first set of lasers that expose the oil-water flow to a first incident signal, a first photodetector that collects a first transmitted signal, the first transmitted signal being a component of the first incident signal transmitted through the oil-water flow, a second set of lasers that expose the oil-water flow to a second incident signal, and a second photodetector that collects a second transmitted signal, the second transmitted signal being a component of the second incident signal transmitted through the oil-water flow. The computer system that calculates the water cut of the oil-water flow based on the first transmitted signal and the second transmitted signal.
