Abstract:
A new type of conductance cross-correlation flowmeter based on two conductance sensors has been designed to measure the velocity of oil/water two- phase flow in a borehole. This flowmeter is capable of measuring the flowrate in a production well with high water cut. Experiment results carried out in a multiphase flow loop demonstrated that the flow velocity measuring range is from 0.0368 to 3.68 m/s, and the relative deviation is 2.3%. Field tests have been performed with the flowmeter in Daqing oilfield. The total flowrates measured with the flowmeter in the well are very closed to the flowrates metered at surface.
