<p>A method and system are provided for determining component fractions of a stream of multiphase fluid including hydrocarbon gas and liquid. The stream flows in a wellbore extending into an earth formation. The method comprises (a) closing the wellbore to contain the stream of multiphase fluid between a lower containment member and an upper containment member, (b) allowing the components of the stream to separate by gravity whereby a body of hydrocarbon gas and a body of a liquid is formed, (c) determining a depth level of an interface between the body of hydrocarbon gas and the body of liquid, and (d) determining the component fractions from the respective depth levels of said containment members, and the depth level of said interface.</p> |
