Mathematical simulation of gas–liquid mixture flow in a reservoir and a wellbore with allowance for the dynamical interactions in the reservoir–well system
Abstract:
Fluid dynamic processes related to mature oil field development are simulated by applying a numerical algorithm based on the gas–liquid mixture flow equations in a reservoir and a wellbore with allowance for the dynamical interaction in the reservoir–well system. Numerical experiments are performed in which well production characteristics are determined from wellhead parameters.
