other techniques found in the industry today. The instrument uses a patented wide-bandwidth radio-frequency to establish permittivity and conductivity of the fluid. For instance, as in a water-cut application, water typically has a permittivity of 80 and oil 2.5, the instrument will continuously monitor water fraction from 0 to 100 percent and vise versa. The instrument requires no mechanical mixer to provide a homogenous flow and is not sensitive to orientation. The technology is very low-power, which makes it attractive to monitor in permanent downhole applications.
