Title: Computer code of two-phase flow in geothermal wells producing water and/or water-carbon dioxide mixtures

Conference ·
OSTI ID:887211

Mathematical well models are developed for pure water and for water-carbon dioxide mixtures. For the slug flow regime, three correlations (Orkiszewski’s, Nicklin’s and modified Nicklin’s) are compared. An equation-of-state package for water-carbon dioxide mixtures is proposed as a function of pressure and temperature. The predicted values are compared with sixteen field cases, in which the maximum carbon dioxide content is 2.8 %.
