Problems solved by technology

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the problem of low measurement accuracy and poor stability caused by the influence of the optical fiber being corroded by the fluid and the influence of the measuring element on the flow field and flow in the pipeline in the existing optical fiber flowmeter, as well as the complex structure of the existing flowmeter. Problems that cannot be used in highly corrosive environments, and then propose a downhole optical fiber vortex flowmeter and downhole flow measurement method

Abstract

The present invention discloses an underground optical fiber vortex-shedding flowmeter and an underground flow measuring method, and aims to solve the problems, of low measuring precision and poor stability, caused by situations that optical fibers are influenced by fluid corrosion and that measuring elements influence a flow field and flow inside a pipeline in a conventional flowmeter, and the problem that the conventional optical fiber flowmeter is complex in structure and cannot be used in high-temperature, high-voltage and high-erosion environments. An upper joint, a central tube and a lower joint are connected from top to bottom in turn, a housing sleeves an outer side wall of the central tube, a vortex shedder is arranged inside the central tube, a through hole is formed in the middle part of the outer side wall of the central tube, a probe is installed inside the through hole through a pressing plate, a central shaft is inserted inside the probe, a fiber bragg grating is arranged inside the central shaft, and one end of an armored cable is connected with the fiber bragg grating while the other end of the armored cable is connected with a fiber bragg grating demodulation instrument. The underground optical fiber vortex-shedding flowmeter is applied to the oil field equipment field.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber vortex flowmeter and a flow measurement method, in particular to an optical fiber vortex flowmeter and a downhole flow measurement method, belonging to the field of oil field equipment. Background technique [0002] Flow rate is an extremely important parameter in the process of oil production. In daily oil recovery work, the accuracy and reliability of flow measurement is related to the oil field production, which is of great significance to improve the development effect of oil and water wells in oil fields. In the process of oil extraction, the real-time measurement of crude oil flow is particularly difficult due to the special environmental conditions downhole and the special flow state of crude oil. In addition, the measurement of downhole flow involves liquid, gas and multiphase fluid, and the measurement of polymer flow should also take into account the viscous effect of high-viscosity non-Newtonian flui...
