Managing the reliability of the tubing string in impulse non-stationary flooding

Abstract

Abstract Impulse non-stationary flooding requires managing the processes influencing reliability and durability of the tubing string. In this case, it is necessary to determine the medium displacement for known dimensional parameters and stress fields, while taking into account the dynamic solution for the low-frequency limit. The results obtained from the analysis are compared against the measurements performed by various authors. Assuming there is a certain frequency of injected fluid oscillation or pressure pulses, one could expect that the radial movement is in equilibrium with the pressure existing at any given period of time. As a result, expressions describing the behavior of impulse waves propagating along the pipe wall were obtained. The reflected waves appear in all cases: whether the change in speed is caused by a change in the pipe wall thickness, Young modulus or shear rigidity of the environment. Changes in density or bulk modulus of the injected fluid or in the radius of the wellbore also cause reflected waves; all the waves may be described by a single equation.
