Abstract
A system can determine multi-phase measurements with respect to a wellbore. The system can include a set of acoustic devices, a measurement device, and a computing device. The set of acoustic devices can be positioned at the surface of a wellbore to generate acoustic signals proportional to flow of fluid with respect to the wellbore. The measurement device can be positioned with respect to the set of acoustic devices to sense the acoustic signals. The computing device can be communicatively coupled to the measurement device to interpret the acoustic signals for determining a type of the fluid and a ratio of one or more phases of the fluid.
