Abstract

The present invention provides a capacitive transducer for measuring the water content of a horizontal well, mainly solving the problem that the prior built-in coaxial capacitive transducer for measuring the water content has low resolution and even is unable to distinguish when measuring in low-flux and high water content horizontal well. The present invention is characterized in that the capacitive transducer includes an internal insulation barrel, a metal internal barrel, an external insulation barrel, a metal external barrel, a baffle ring and a pressure cap which are embedded from inside to the outside in order; the metal internal barrel is arranged in a sealed insulation cavity formed by connecting the baffle ring, the internal insulation barrel and the external insulation barrel; the upper part of the metal internal barrel is connected with a conductor and then sealed so as to lead out an electrical connecting wire insulated from the metal external barrel; a ground lead is also led out from the metal external barrel. The transducer aims at measuring the water content of the horizontal output well within the flux of 100m<3> / d, thus having an excellent resolution within the water content of 0-100 percents, overcoming and compensating the defects of the built-in coaxial capacitive transducer for measuring the water content.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an electrical component used for measuring the water content of a horizontal production well in an oil field, in particular to a capacitive sensor used for measuring the water content of a horizontal well. Background technique: [0002] At present, in oil wells with low production levels, the interpolation type coaxial capacitance water cut measurement sensor is mainly used to measure water cut, but at low flow rates, due to oil-water stratification, its resolution is often low, and the water cut is 50%. It is difficult to distinguish above. The reason for this analysis is that the sampling chamber of the interpolated coaxial capacitive water content measurement sensor applied to the capacitance method water holdup meter can be equivalent to a coaxial cylindrical capacitor, and the oil-gas-water mixture is the dielectric medium. At the same time, the capacitance of the coaxial capacitor changes accordingly, so the water holdi...
