After the hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles with different radioactivity flow through the two downstream gamma ray detectors, the flow velocities of the oil phase and the water phase can be calculated.
[0074] The principle of measuring the flow velocities of the water and oil phases in horizontal shale oil-water two-phase flow is that hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles with different radioactivity are injected into the pipeline of the horizontal shale oil-water two-phase flow parameter measuring device and adsorbed onto oil droplets and water droplets respectively. Oil droplets adsorbed with radioactive hydrophobic particles form a radioactive oil phase, and water droplets adsorbed with radioactive hydrophilic particles form a radioactive water phase.

[0079]
[0080] wherein, is the time offset of the radioactive intensity function relative to the radioactive intensity function .
[0081] The cross-correlation function reaches the maximum value, and the obtained at this time is the transit time of the oil droplets flowing through the gamma detector 1 and the gamma detector 2, so that the oil phase flow rate can be calculated, and the expression is as follows:
[0082]
[0083] wherein, is the flow rate of the oil phase, and D is the distance between the gamma detector 1 and the gamma detector 2.
