A matrix production logging tool for measuring the temperature of produced fluids in a wellbore is described. Accurate production allocation to the pathways between the oil/gas well and the reservoir provides required data for the economic optimization of the techniques and procedures used to complete future wells and optimize the existing well. The low maintenance tool provides precise uphole, downhole and inflow temperature measurements of produced fluids within the wellbore. These are obtained at a plurality of locations along the oil/gas well as the tool is withdrawn, thus providing a matrix of temperature measures along the length of the well. From the temperature traces, inflow as well as up and downhole temperature, can be determined, and mass contribution at each inlet determined. With this method, a production profile along the entire well can be determined as used in further well optimization efforts.
