Streamtube relative-permeability functions for flashing steam/water flow in fractures
Journal Article

· SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) Reserv. Eng.; (United States)
The flow of steam/water mixtures into geothermal wells is analyzed by use of a two-phase model for flashing flow. The model includes the effect of heat transfer from the formation rock to the two-phase mixture. In the reservoir/well system, the two-phase flashing flow is assumed to occur in fractures. The model can be used to forecast the mass flow and enthalpy characteristics of two-phase geothermal wells. Relative permeability functions are derived for flashing steam/water flow in the feed-zone fractures of geothermal wells.
