Modeling Acoustic Fields Induced by the Flow Noise in the Near-Wellbore Zone

We consider modeling wellbore acoustic fields induced by the flow noise in the zone of the formation inflow. The influence of the reservoir’s properties, geometry, and phase composition of the fluid on the acoustic field in the wellbore is investigated. Using numerical modeling, we showed that these factors significantly influence the spatial-frequency pattern of the spectrum, and certain frequencies of the spectrum are strongly amplified. We present the modelling results for various examples of reservoirs with oil and gas wells.
