The subject of heat transfer in oil reservoirs has gained huge attention, due to its diverse
range of applications in petroleum reservoir management and thermal recovery for …

This article will present a set of analytical equations for the calculation of early-time,
sandface temperature for the case of a slightly compressible fluid production. The equations …

This article will concentrate on the problem of 2D heat losses from a reservoir experiencing
linear flow of an incompressible fluid with a uniform heat generation in the reservoir. This …

Long (horizontal) completion intervals typically show a wide variation in the inflow
distribution along their length because of either formation heterogeneity or (frictional) flow …

Intelligent well system technology enables continuous downhole monitoring and zonal
production control. Knowledge of zonal multiphase rates in real time gives the ability to …

Intelligent, or I-wells, are a core element in the delivery of the" digital oil field". Numerous
publications have described how their control and monitoring capabilities can lead to an …

Horizontal well temperature and pressure distributions can be measured by production
logging or downhole permanent sensors, such as fiber optic distributed temperature sensors …

A complex hydraulic control system for intelligent wells is costly and cannot use numerous
producing layers. Thus, it cannot be easily employed in China oilfields that demand a …

Robust and accurate mathematical models describing fluid and heat transport in naturally
occurring geological media can be challenging to formulate due to the spatial …

Advanced completions using technologies such as Inflow Control Devices or Interval Control
Valves are successfully optimising oil and gas production. They are often accompanied by …
