SYSTEM AND METHOD TO INTERPRET DISTRIBUTED TEMPERATURE SENSOR DATA AND TO DETERMINE A FLOW RATE IN A WELL

A technique is provided to determine a flow rate of a production fluid. The technique is utilized in a well having a gas lift system. Temperatures are measured along the well to create a temperature profile. The temperature profile is used to determine the flow rate of a produced fluid.
