Abstract
In this paper the wellbore simulator is described. The code can be directly applied to a variety of Production and Reservoir Engineering problems, usually, within thermodynamic conditions found in two-phase geothermal wells built in Mexico. has several featured parts, among them are the following: simulation of adiabatic flow in a two-phase three component (NaClsystem in both directions, that is, from wellhead to bottom hole, and vice versa; thermodynamic tables in can handle up to 6 Mol concentrations and fluid temperatures up to 325 "C. A correlation to estimate two-phase three component mass flow rates discharging to the atmosphere at the speed of sound is also presented. This correlation is derived from the James' Method.
