Abstract
Multi-phase measurements of a fluid in a wellbore can be received and stored by a memory tool for determining flow characteristics of fluid flowing in the wellbore. A system can include a flow meter device, one or more sensors, and a memory tool The flow meter device can include one or more acoustic devices that can be positioned to generate acoustic signals in a wellbore. The one or more sensors can be positioned to detect the acoustic signals from the flow meter device for making multi-phase measurements of fluid with respect to the wellbore. The memory tool can be communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors to receive and store the multi-phase measurements for a predetermined amount of time for determining flow characteristics of the fluid.
