Motivation

...


The stabilized water injection profile satisfies the assumptions of the 
Stationary Quasi-Isothermal Incompressible Isoviscous Pipe Flow Pressure Profile @model.


For the stabilized flow the wellbore pressure profile is constant and wellbore temperature profile is changing very slowly.
