Abstract
A method for mirror imaging of gas holdup in gas-water two-phase flow based on a fiber optic probe array includes: projecting six fiber optic probes of a FIT onto a cross-section of a wellbore at a same height, gridding and normalizing an inner diameter of the wellbore and probe positions to obtain a cross-sectional grid, and determining a two-dimensional coordinate of each fiber optic probe within the cross-sectional grid and a local gas holdup at each fiber optic probe; rotating, based on a radial symmetry of gas-water flow along the wellbore center, the six fiber optic probes counterclockwise to obtain mirror probes which are radially symmetrical and coordinates thereof; and predicting gas holdup at each mirror probe to obtain predicted gas holdup values, interpolating the predicted gas holdup values in the cross-sectional grid by an interpolation algorithm to obtain a reconstructed gas-water image of the cross-section of the wellbore.
