METHOD OF DETERMINING PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF WELL FIELD Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E21B47/10 G01F1/74 

FIELD: physics; measurement.

SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to measurement technology, and specifically to measurement of flow characteristics of liquid and/or gaseous media, and can be used for controlling streams with varying flow rate, particularly when designing control of oil and gas deposits by measuring production capacity of each well in a group. Flow meters are fitted in pipes carrying the product of the well and connected to a recording device. Signals from the flow meters are recorded. The flow meters used have accuracy of not more than 18% and sensors for measuring density of the well product can also be fitted. The density sensors are fitted if the signal from the low accuracy flow meter deviates by a value exceeding a preset value.

EFFECT: lower cost price of the system for monitoring operation parameters of a well field with increased efficiency and information content of measurements at the same time.
