Application of Mathematical Modeling during Monitoring and Optimization of Non-Stationary Regime of Oil Well

Abstract

The paper presents results of modeling of periodical regime of oil well for the purpose of monitoring and optimization of its operation. To describe non-stationary flow in the reservoir a planar-radial model of filtration is employed. The flow of multiphase flux in the well elements (casing, tubing, annulus) is described by 1D Navier-Stoks equations. The pump work is modelled by specification of its rate-head curve. To estimate the typical time duration of the processes in the well and in the reservoir a solution of a model problem for cylindrical tube is given. Through the examples a solution of a problem of optimization of periodical regime of oil wells is demonstrated. The comparison with field measurements is presented.
