For the stabilized flow the wellbore pressure profile is constant and wellbore temperature profile is changing very slowly.
This allows solving the pressure-temperature problem iteratively:
Temperature distribution along the wellbore trajectory |
Intake temperature | Pipeline trajectory TVDss | ||
Intake pressure | |||
Intake flowrate | Flow pipe diameter (tubing or casing depending on where flow occurs) | ||
Fluid density | Inner pipe wall roughness | ||
Stationary fluid flow | Isothermal or Quasi-isothermal conditions | Constant cross-section pipe area along hole |
Incompressible fluid | Isoviscous |
The stabilized water injection profile satisfies the assumptions of the Stationary Quasi-Isothermal Incompressible Isoviscous Pipe Flow Pressure Profile @model.
The water injection wellbore temperature profile can be split into the following components:
