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.
