The flow pattern is mainly composed of stratified flow in horizontal well multiphase flow, so the conventional single probe logging instrument cannot truly and completely reflect the flow state, and hold up of each phase fluid. Therefore, it is necessary to use the array probe measuring tool in horizontal well. In this paper, firstly, the characteristics of the existing foreign array probe measurement technology are compared. secondly, the wellbore and cross section are shaded using the grid and the simple inverse-distance interpolation algorithm. Thirdly, based on the data measured by SONDEX capacitance array tool and resistance array tool, a three-dimensional horizontal wellbore is drawn using VC++ 6.0 and Open GL language. Fourth, the three-dimensional fluid flow imaging module QRZ view is compiled for multiphase flow in horizontal wells. Finally, the test with the data of three simulation wells shows that QRZ view has good 3D flow imaging effect and is suitable for stratified flow in horizontal well.Downloads
