Abstract
An apparatus includes a tool configured to operate within a borehole during a period wherein matter is being output from a surrounding earth formation into a flow of matter in the borehole. The tool includes a main tool body having a longitudinal axis. A temperature probe array is coupled to the main tool body, including a first temperature probe and a second temperature probe. The first temperature probe is radially spaced from and is at a different circumferential position relative to the second temperature probe during operation. The first temperature probe and the second temperature probe are configured to measure a first temperature and a second temperature, respectively, during operation, wherein at least one of a type of matter in the flow and an entry point of the matter from the surrounding earth formation is derived using the first temperature and the second temperature.
