Thermal Wellbore Simulator

§  Detailed Segment Modeling of the flow of fluids and energy in the various tubing strings of a vertical or horizontal well.

§  Computes the Oil, Water, Gas and Steam Rates in the tubing strings and inflow/outflow to the reservoir.

§  Displays the Steady State Pressure, Temperature and Fluid Saturation Profiles in the pipe strings.

§  Multiple Choke or Venturi FCDs - Liner or Tubing Deployed

§  Computes Null flow points due to convergent or divergent flow automatically.

TWBS V7 Release Updates

-        Inline Chokes to restrict flow between selected pipe segments

-        Pressure Drop multiplying factor for matching calculated frictional pressure drop

-        Production well scenario with variable influx calculated using relative permeability tables instead of straight-line curves.

-        New Reporting series for flow magnitude/direction between segments of same pipe and for crossflow between inner pipe/outer pipe, casing-liner/reservoir

 

TWBS V6 Release Updates

-          Easily create multicase data sets for sensitivity evaluation.

-          New Multicase Results module to compare several cases as tables or graphs

-         2 cases can be run simultaneously.

-         Overall Heat Transfer coefficients computed automatically for each segment range.

-         Flow Control Device measured tables of Pressure drop, steam rates and steam quality for steam injection.

APPLICATION: DESIGN OF WELLS

            Steam Circulation

            Steam Injection

            Producer with fixed rate profile or variable rate f(DeltaP)

            Investigate artificial lift such as gas lift or pumps.

            Optimize Injection and Production Flow Distribution, FCD placement.

            Optimize Operating Rates, tubing lengths and sizing.

            Downhole Steam Generation using Electric Heater

            Multicomponent Solvent and Steam Injection

 

SPECIFICS

            Enter PVT data for up to 7 components. Internal Steam Tables.

            Import a Well Deviation survey. Automatically subdivide the well trajectory into segments of various lengths

            Specify and enter up to 5 pipes of various lengths and diameters, concentric or side by side.

            Model reservoir boundary conditions. Change reservoir properties permeability, pressure, temperature, saturation along the well length.

            Set the inflow rates of oil, gas, water at each reservoir segment, or calculate the variable influx based on current reservoir and pipe conditions. Offtake and injection points may be set at any segment and offtake/injection pressures specified. Injection rates, steam quality, injection temperature may be set.

            For calibration, observed data versus measured depth can be entered
