Abstract
A fast-neutron transmission/scattering method is presented for measuri ng the volume fraction of each of the three-phases of an oil-water-gas how in a pipe. The gas fraction is determined by a transmission measu rement. The relative oil-to-water content is obtained from the scatter ing count rate by taking advantage of the salinity of water. Monte Car lo simulations and experiments are presented to demonstrate the feasib ility of the technique.
