Solbau, R D; Goranson, C B; Benson, S M

The development and use of a high temperature (300/sup 0/C) downhole flowmeter for geothermal well logging are discussed. The availability of the instrument gives the reservoir engineer a powerful tool for formation evaluation and studying wellbore dynamics. The instrument components, their function, and temperature limitations are discussed in detail. Several field examples of spinner log interpretation are also presented.
