The design of a modular probe incorporating thick-film sensors for detecting phase interfaces in oil well primary separator plant

摘要

In the extraction of hydrocarbons from the ground, the fluid pumped out of the well is not pure crude oil or natural gas, but a combination of oil, gas, and water, often containing entrained mud and particulate debris. This is usually a well-mixed multiphase flow, which often appears at the wellhead at high temperature and pressure.
