Multiphase flow meters (MPFMs) are transforming well surveillance by enabling continuous, real-time measurement of oil, water, and gas flow without the need for large test separators. This work reviews the physics and field performance of dominant MPFM's, particularly the Venturi differential-pressure and dual-energy gamma densitometry combination, and compares their validated operating envelopes, accuracy, and limitations against conventional test separators.
