Abstract

To determine fluid flow information associated with a well, data from plural discrete temperature sensors in zones without radial fluid flow in the well are received. The fluid flow information associated with the well is derived by combining the received data from the plural discrete temperature sensors with reservoir data that is independent of the fluid flow. That information can be further enhanced by monitoring the changes of temperature data over time.
