Numerical Investigation of the Temperature Field in a Multiple-Zone Well During Gas-Cut Oil Motion

Resumo

The temperature field in the well-reservoir system is investigated by numerical simulation of non-isothermal flow of gas-cut oil in a multiple-zone well taking into account the Joule-Thomson effect, the adiabatic effect, and the heat of degassing. It is shown that the position of the boundary of the oil degassing area in the borehole can be evaluated from the temperature distribution.
