Abstract
A method of determining rate and phase of fluid produced from or injected into a hydrocarbon well includes obtaining first temperature and pressure measurements from sensors at the well. The first temperature and pressure measurements are applied to a plurality of predictive well models to calculate an estimated value of fluid rate and phase composition from each of the predictive well models responsive to the temperature and pressure measurements. A first fluid rate and phase composition result is derived from the estimate value of fluid rate and phase composition from each of the predictive well models.
