FIG. ,-, M ,::; © (57) : A method includes drawing a fluid into a flow control assembly coupled to a completion string positioned within a 0 - 3 wellbore, the flow control assembly including a first fluidic device and a second fluidic device, where the first and second fluidic ,1 devices exhibit different flow characteristics. A flow condition of the fluid circulating through the first and second fluidic devices is 0 measured with a plurality of fluid sensors, and a water cut of the fluid is estimated based on the flow condition measured by the plurality ei of fluid sensors.
