Analysis of the behavior of the Ding well model for off-centered wells and its impact on gradient-based well location optimization

The computer assisted optimization of well locations in reservoirs can result in a better planning of the reservoir development and non-trivial optimal locations can be found. Currently most optimizers use gradient-free methods which require significant computing capacity. Especially when considering decision making under uncertainty there is a...

Modeling tow-phase fluid and heat flow in geothermal wells

Recently, an amount of methane was produced with hot water in the Ammerlaan geothermal field. The presence of methane influences fluid properties and fluid flow in the well, leading to changes in the pressure and temperature drop in the producing well. This study presents a model for non-isothermal two-phase flow in geothermal wells. In this...
