Abstract :
There´s no report on sand production detection sensor at home, and no application in heavy oil abroad. In order to meet the needs of heavy oil sand production detection, a PZT sensor is developed which used piezoelectric material. The performance test and a large number of indoor and field experiments show that the sensor can not only distinguish the strong noise and sand signal, but also have stable performance and meet the requirements of sand production of heavy oil.
