Mathemathical Models of the Fluid Flowing in Geothermal and Hydrocarbon Wells

Abstract

Estimation of production response of the geothermal or hydrocarbon reservoir includes modeling i) the processes in reservoir during exploitation and ii) fluid flowing in the production and re-injection wells. Therefore, separate mathematical models for simulation of the conditions in reservoir and flowing in the wells are to be jointed as one concept.
The paper presents the comparative analysis of models for hydrocarbon and geothermal fluid flowing in the well. Analogy between two types of two-phase fluid (gas-condensate and steam-water) is drawn and differences are discussed. Some calculation results for wells of Karachaganak gas-condensate field and Mutnovsky geothermal field are presented.
