Abstract

Fluid flux in a fluid injection and/or hydrocarbon fluid production well (1, 21) is monitored in a cost efficient and accurate manner by: - inducing the fluid flux to move an acoustic emission device (17, 37) in a longitudinal direction through the well (1, 21); - measuring a longitudinal velocity (v) of the acoustic emission device (17, 37) at various longitudinally spaced locations in the well (1, 21) using a fiber optical Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) assembly (14, 15, 34, 35) which monitors the longitudinal position of the acoustic emission device against time along at least part of the length of the well (1, 21); and - monitoring the fluid flux (13, 19, 33, 39) at various locations along the length of the well (1, 21) on the basis on the measured velocity (v) of the acoustic emission device (17, 37).
