A new technique for the real-time monitoring of the sand producing in heavy oil wells

The sensor for detecting sand producting is one of key techniques in the sand-producting monitoring system for heavy oil wells。The sensor for the purpose is designed,which is made of PVDF piezoelectric film and can be winded on the surface of the pipe through which sandy crude oil is.The working principle of the sensor and the principle of treating monitoring signal are presented.The sensor is used in a heavy oil well sand-producing simulation system,and it can recognize the acoustic signal generated by sand grain colliding pipe wall.According to the acoustic signal,the sand content in the sandy crude oil can be calculated.These prove that the sensor can effectively work.The simulation test shows that the sensor has high detection accuracy,and its installation is convenient.
