1. An apparatus comprising:
a flow meter;
a fluid conduit to provide a flow path for a fluid relative to the flow meter;
a conductivity probe coupled to the fluid conduit to generate brine conductivity data of the fluid during flow of the fluid through the fluid conduit; and
a processor, the flow meter and the conductivity probe to be communicatively coupled to the processor, the processor to modify fluid flow data generated by the flow meter based on the brine conductivity data;
wherein the processor is to detect a presence of solid slugs in the flow path of the fluid conduit based on the brine conductivity data, wherein the solid slugs comprise sand.
