Transient Modeling of Multiphase Flow in Wellbores

EasyChair Preprint 10139

Abstract

Multiphase flow in wellbores is critical to the efficient and safe production of oil and gas resources. Accurate transient modeling of multiphase flow in wellbores is essential for predicting flow behavior and optimizing production. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the current state of transient modeling of multiphase flow in wellbores. The paper covers the governing equations, flow regimes, wellbore geometry, and boundary conditions, numerical methods for solving the equations, model validation and verification, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification, and applications of the models in wellbore design and production optimization. The review highlights the challenges and future directions in transient multiphase flow modeling in wellbores. The paper underscores the importance of transient modeling in accurately predicting flow behavior and optimizing production in oil and gas production systems. This review can serve as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners working in the field of multiphase flow in wellbores.
