[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0023] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 As shown, the oil well production metering device includes a hollow separation tank 1 and a control unit.

[0027] According to the actual needs, the above-mentioned oil production metering device can be further optimized or / and improved:

[0028] Example 2: as shown in the attached Figure 1As shown, the liquid production and moisture estimation unit includes an oil inlet pipe 7, a water content analyzer 8, an inverted U-shaped siphon 9, and a liquid production estimation unit 10. An oil inlet is arranged on the left side of the separation tank 1 at the upper position of the lower cavity 6. The oil inlet is fixedly installed with the oil inlet pipe 7 with a blind left end. The left end of the oil inlet pipe 7 is provided with the water content analyzer 8. The left part of the oil inlet pipe 7 is provided with a liquid passage hole connected with the inside and outside. An oil outlet is arranged on the left side of the separation tank 1 at the middle position of the upper cavity 5. The oil outlet is fixedly installed with the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 with the left lower end fixedly installed with the liquid passage hole on the inside. The right lower end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 is located in the upper cavity 5. The left upper part of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 is provided with the liquid production estimation unit 10 capable of detecting the number of siphon phenomena and the duration in a unit time. The water content analyzer 8 and the liquid production estimation unit 10 are electrically connected with the control unit.

[0029] In use, the gas-liquid mixture produced by the oil well is separated into oil-water mixture. When the liquid surface of the oil-water mixture in the upper cavity 5 is higher than the bending part of the upper end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, the siphon phenomenon occurs. The siphon effect can make the oil-water mixture in the upper cavity 5 flow into the lower cavity 6 through the outlet of the left lower end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 and the oil inlet pipe 7. When the liquid surface of the oil-water mixture in the upper cavity 5 is lower than the inlet of the right lower end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, the siphon phenomenon in the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 stops, that is, the oil-water mixture stops flowing in the inverted U-shaped siphon 9. The oil-water mixture re-converges at the bottom of the upper cavity 5, and the cycle is repeated. In this process, the liquid production estimation unit 10 measures the number of siphon phenomena and the duration in a unit time. The control unit can preliminarily estimate the liquid production of the oil well according to the measurement values. The water content analyzer 8 can obtain the water content of the produced liquid of the oil well by measuring the moisture of the oil-water mixture in the inverted U-shaped siphon 9.

The water content analyzer 8 can be realized by the Universal IV UCM series online water content analyzer in oil in the DREXELBROOK in the prior art.

[0030] Embodiment 3: as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 The liquid production estimation unit 10 is a capacitive liquid level sensor. This arrangement is mainly because the capacitive liquid level sensor has the advantages of large dynamic range, fast response speed, small zero drift, simple structure, and strong adaptability.

[0032] Through such an arrangement, after the oil well gas-liquid mixture is separated in the upper cavity 5, the natural gas floats out from the upper end of the separation tank 1 and flows into the lower cavity 6 from the communication pipe 11, and the natural gas flow through the communication pipe 11 can be measured by the natural gas flow measuring instrument 12. The natural gas flow measuring instrument 12 in the prior art can usually accurately and stably measure the instantaneous flow value and the cumulative flow value of the natural gas, and the control unit can quickly and accurately calculate the gas production of the oil well according to the natural gas flow value in a unit time. According to the need, the natural gas flow measuring instrument 12 can be realized by the digital natural gas turbine flow sensor in the prior art.

[0033] Embodiment 5: as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 As shown, the separation tank 1 is provided with a liquid production precision measurement part capable of accurately detecting the liquid production between the middle and the upper part of the communication pipe 11, the liquid production precision measurement part includes a liquid level communicator 13, a detection pipe 14, a first liquid level sensor 15 and a second liquid level sensor 16, the middle of the partition plate 4 is provided with a measuring hole penetrating upward and downward, the measuring hole is fixedly installed with the liquid level communicator 13, the upper part of the separation tank 1 corresponding to the lower end position of the liquid level communicator 13 is provided with a detection hole penetrating inside and outside, the lower end of the liquid level communicator 13 is fixedly installed with the detection pipe 14, the other end of the detection pipe 14 penetrates through the detection hole and is in communication with and fixedly installed with the upper part of the lower side of the communication pipe 11, the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second liquid level sensor 16 are respectively arranged on the detection pipe 14 corresponding to the right lower end of the inverted U-shaped siphon pipe 9 and the upper end bending part thereof, and the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second liquid level sensor 16 are respectively electrically connected with the control unit.

[0034] During use, the oil-water mixture at the bottom of the upper cavity 5 can enter the detection tube 14 through the liquid level communicator 13, and when the first liquid level sensor 15 detects the liquid level, the liquid level of the oil-water mixture in the upper cavity 5 is just level with the inlet position at the lower right end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, and when the second liquid level sensor 16 detects the liquid level, the liquid level of the oil-water mixture is just to the outlet position at the curved portion of the upper end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 and siphon phenomenon occurs; the control unit can accurately calculate the liquid production of the oil well according to the time difference of the liquid level data detected by the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second liquid level sensor 16, the internal cavity volume of the separation tank 1 corresponding to the lower side position of the lower right end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, and the internal cavity volume of the separation tank 1 corresponding to the position between the lower right end and the curved portion of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9. According to requirements, the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second liquid level sensor 16 can be realized by the contact liquid level sensor or the non-contact liquid level sensor in the prior art; the detection tube 14 and the detection hole can be directly fixed and installed together, or can be fixed and connected together through a pipe joint.

[0035] Embodiment 6: as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 The liquid production accurate measurement unit further comprises a water injection pipe 17 and a water injection control valve 18, and the upper portion of the detection tube 14 is provided with a water injection port penetrating in and out, and the water injection port is fixedly installed with an L-shaped water injection pipe 17 with a funnel-shaped upper end, and the horizontal portion of the water injection pipe 17 is provided with a water injection control valve 18.

[0036] During use, the water injection control valve 18 is opened, and then clear water can be injected into the detection tube 14 and the communicator through the L-shaped water injection pipe 17, so that the liquid level of the clear water in the detection tube 14 is below the first liquid level sensor 15, so that when the liquid level of the oil-water mixture reaches the inlet at the lower right end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, the oil-water mixture can push the liquid level of the clear water to reach the first liquid level sensor 15, and when the liquid level of the oil-water mixture reaches the outlet at the curved portion of the U-shaped siphon, the liquid level of the clear water is just to the second liquid level sensor 16, so that the probes of the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second sensor are always in contact with the clear water, the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second sensor are kept clean, and the probes are prevented from being corroded by the oil-water mixture.

[0037] Embodiment 7: as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 The right end of the liquid inlet pipe 2 and the right end of the oil inlet pipe 7 are both curved into an arc shape.

[0038] By such arrangement, the bending of the right end of the liquid inlet pipe 2 can make the gas-liquid mixture produced by the oil well flow into the bottom of the upper cavity 5, prevent the floating natural gas from being re-dissolved in the mixed liquid, affect the determination of the natural gas production, and avoid the splashing and wall-hanging of the gas-liquid mixture; the bending of the right end of the oil inlet pipe 7 can effectively avoid the splashing separation of the oil-water mixture, so that the oil-water mixture quickly flows out through the oil inlet pipe 7.

During use, the left-thin right-thick diameter expansion pipe can reduce the pressure of the gas-liquid mixture, so that the gas-liquid mixture is preliminarily separated, and then separated again through the upper cavity 5, so that the gas-liquid separation effect is better, and the measured value is more accurate.

[0040] The above technical features constitute embodiments of the present application, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
