During the measurement of multiphase flow in low yield oil wells, the liquid volume will vary with the operating characteristics of the pumping unit. Using the pulsating characteristics of the up and down strokes of a pumping unit, the flow rate is measured when there is a flow rate on the up stroke, and the water content is measured when the fluid is stationary on the down stroke. In this paper, the heat transfer method is used to measure the water content of the oil water mixture during the down stroke process. At this time, the water content can be expressed as the instantaneous water content of the oil well. Firstly, the feasibility of measuring water content using heat transfer method is demonstrated theoretically, and then the temperature change of the heating probe PT300 is simulated. Finally, the actual temperature of PT300 is measured experimentally. Comparing the experimental value with the simulation value, the calculated measurement error is within 1.27 %, which indicates that the heat transfer method is feasible for measuring water content. Using the same single sensor to measure oil water two-phase flow using the pulsation characteristics of the up and down strokes of a pumping unit is a major innovation in this paper. And lays a foundation for the detection of multiphase flow using heat transfer methods. The successful implementation of the text heat transfer method for measuring water content has broken the previous situation of multiple sensor detection, simplified the structure of multiphase flow instruments, and extended the life of the instrument. |
