This analysis demonstrates gas-liquid hydrodynamics in flowing wells, suggesting improved extraction efficiency.
This study presents a novel method for analyzing two-phase fluid flow in pipelines using a mathematical model. By establishing a relationship between mass gas content and spin gas content from experimental data, key parameters of the liquid-gas two-phase system were derived. The method enables the determination of the main parameters of flowing wells and the estimation of bottom-hole pressure. Validation against measured data demonstrates the method's accuracy and practical applicability in industrial settings. The findings contribute to enhancing extraction efficiency and optimizing production processes in oil and gas operations. The proposed method addresses the limitations of existing models that neglect the coupling effect of spin gas content and mass transfer, which is critical in high-productivity wells. Through systematic wellhead pressure measurements and mathematical models, this study provides a reliable alternative to directly measuring bottom-hole pressure using deep-well pressure gauges, which often present technical challenges and increased measurement errors with increasing well depth. The method is particularly effective in high-productivity wells and efficiently developed reservoirs, offering significant theoretical support for further advancements in petroleum engineering. The results of this research are based on laboratory experiments, theoretical studies, and industrial field observations, ensuring the robustness and applicability of the proposed method in real-world scenarios.
