Abstract
Provided is a downhole tool and a well system. The downhole tool, in one aspect, includes a tubular providing one or more production fluid flow paths for a production fluid. The downhole tool, according to this aspect, further includes one or more float chambers located within the tubular, and two or more floats located within the one or more float chambers. In one aspect, a first of the two or more floats has a first density (ρ) between a density of gas (ρ) and a density of oil (ρ), and a second of the two or more floats has a second density (ρ) between the density of oil (ρ) and a density of water (ρ). The downhole tool, according to this aspect, further includes two or more non-contact proximity sensors configured to sense a radial location of the two or more floats to determine a gas:oil ratio and oil:water ratio.
