  • Publication number: 20240401994
    Abstract: An in-line flowmeter sensor device and an in-line flowmeter are configured to be arranged in-line with a conduit supporting a multi-phase fluid flow including first and second matter groups. The second matter group has a lower density than the first matter group. The sensor device includes: an inlet and an outlet arranged at respective ends of the flowmeter sensor device; and a measurement chamber arranged between the inlet and the outlet. The measurement chamber is configured to split the first and second matter groups into first and second flow regions, respectively, of the measurement chamber. A flow meter sensor element is arranged in or adjacent the first region.

  • Publication number: 20140124217
    Abstract: An apparatus for storing cable along a tubular in a wellbore using a first retainer for attachment to the tubular at a first location and a second retainer for attachment to the tubular at a second location. Each retainer is constructed and arranged to reverse the direction of the cable and to at least partially retain the cable due to elastic forces therein. In one embodiment, the cable is formed into a plurality of loops, each having an upper end retained by the first retainer and a lower end retained by the second retainer.
