titleDual-barrier Completion

In case of single-string well completion with flowing fluid in the annulus (see Fig. 3) the HTC is defined by the following equation:


LaTeX Math Block
anchorU
alignmentleft
\frac{1}{ d_{ti} \, U} = \frac{1}{d_{ti} \, U_{ti}} + \frac{1}{\lambda_t} \, \ln \frac{d_t}{d_{ti}} +
+ \frac{1}{\lambda_{a, \rm eff}} \ln \frac{d_{ci}}{d_t} +
\frac{1}{\lambda_c} \ln \frac{d_c}{d_{ci}} + \frac{1}{\lambda_{cem}} \ln \frac{d_w}{d_c}

heat transfer coefficient (HTC)
between inner surface of tubing and moving fluid

In case the annulus is filled with stagnant fluid the annulus fluid convection will be natural and the Convection Heat Transfer Multiplier

In case the annulus fluid is moving the annulus fluid convection will be forced and the Convection Heat Transfer Multiplier
