Dynamically Coupled Reservoir and Wellbore Simulation Research in Two-Phase Flow Systems: A Critical Review

A coupled reservoir/wellbore simulator is essential for solving relevant flow phenomena with dynamic interactions between reservoir and wellbore in two-phase systems. or alone fails to solve these transient phenomena. This paper summarises a critical review of the simulation. First, wide application drift-flux (DF) models simulate gas–liquid model coupling was discussed. Then, mechanisms systems were discussed, including modeling, their schemes. Various examples representative simulators presented. Finally, some case studies reported reveal by using simulators. study gives most up-to-date systematic sights on research topic coupling, allowing better understanding simulation its oil gas industry.
