Method of Automatic Measurement of Dynamic Viscosity of Oil Fluid
Abstract. The article relates to the oil industry and can be used in oil fields for the automatic measurement of the rheological characteristics of reservoir fluid, particularly for high-viscosity oils.
A method for the automatic measurement of the dynamic viscosity (DV) of oil fluid (OF) is proposed. In this method, pressure is measured at the outlet line of the tubing and at two points on the wellhead: one at the upper point of the tubing wellhead and the other below the first, at a distance corresponding to half the cylinder length of the pump used. The calculation of the DV of the OF takes into account the current data on the cross-sectional area of the tubing and rod and follows the proposed algorithm.
