Flow in Perforated Region Including Non-Linear Effects

I004 Flow in Perforated Region Including Non-linear Effects Abstract 1 Fluid flow behavior in the perforated zone has a great impact on producing well deliverability thus considerable effort has been directed towards this subject by many investigators. This study concentrates on the behavior of steady-state flow of a compressible fluid in a perforated completion including non-Darcy flow. A finite-element based simulator was developed and employed to conduct a comprehensive sensitivity study of the effect of perforation parameters on a single-well flow performance. The complex nature of flow behavior in this 3-D system requires detailed information of the pressure profile which
