Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing, in a hydrocarbon well, a signal indicative of a local flow parameter of a multiphase fluid, comprising the steps of placing at least one local sensor in the fluid and producing a signal whose level is characteristic of the phase in which said sensor is immersed, said signal being generated at a spike whose radius of curvature is less than 100 microns. The invention is applicable to determining hold-ups of different phases of the fluid.
