Correlations between Vapor Saturation,fluid Composition and Well Decline in Larderello
نویسندگان
چکیده
A large body of field data from Larderello shows striking temporal correlations between decline of well flow-rate, produced gaslsteam ratio, chloride concentration and produced vapor fraction. The latter is inferred from measured concentrations of non-condensible gases in samples of well fluid, using chemical phase equilibrium principles. Observed temporal changes in the vapor fractions can be interpreted in term of a 'multiple source' model, aa suggested by D'Amore 6 Truesdell (1979). This provides clues to the dynamics of reservoir depletion, and to the evaluation of well productivity and longevity.

A Depletion Mechanism for the Behavior of Noncondensible Gases at The Geysers
Vapor-dominated geothermal systems, including The Geysers and Larderello, have experienced significant increases in noncondensible gas during their productive histories. A depletion model has been developed to explain these increases. In the model, the low permeability of the reservoir rock matrix initially retards the flow of vapor through the matrix to fractures due to the plugging effect of ...

متن کاملMULTI PHASE COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS MODELING OF CAVITATING FLOWS OVER AXISYMMETRIC HEAD-FORMS
In the present paper, partial cavitation over various head-forms was studied numerically to predict the shape of the cavity. Navier-Stokes equations in addition to an advection equation for vapor volume fraction were solved. Mass transfer between the phases was modeled by a sink term in vapor equation in the numerical analysis for different geometries in wide range of cavitation numbers. The r...
