Abstract:
A flow measuring system detects fluid flow in a subsea well. A disclosed flow measuring system may comprise a housing  12  attached over a hole  22  or riser aperture, defined within a riser  20 , creating a fluid pathway. Continuous louvers  27  may span the riser aperture, filtering the flow of fluid reaching the fluid pathway. The direction and volume of flow within the fluid pathway may be measured by sensors attached to the housing. In an alternative embodiment, director plates  29  may be integrated with or integral to the louvers with the director plates influencing the flow of fluid to, within and out of the fluid pathway. The use of flow measurement sensors within the fluid pathway is also disclosed. In one embodiment, no louvers or director plates are used, thus increasing the fluid communication between the riser and housing.

Claim (Index 1):
A flow monitoring system that detects the direction and volume of fluid flow in an offshore drilling marine riser; the flow monitoring system comprising:\n a) an arc shaped housing with the housing attached over an opening defined within the offshore drilling marine riser; b) a cavity defined within the arc of the housing and in fluid communication with the opening in the offshore drilling marine riser; and c) a sensor attached to the housing, the sensor configured to determine the direction and volume of fluid flow through the cavity of the housing.
