Petroleum Engineering Summer Course 2015 General Information

This document provides information about a petroleum engineering summer course including lectures, exercises, computer applications, and exams. The course covers topics such as wellhead design, fluid properties, inflow performance relationships, skin damage, vertical lift performance, flow through restrictions, and nodal analysis. It also describes how to calculate hydrostatic pressure and temperature in a wellbore. The exam for the course will take place on September 4, 2015 from 1-3 pm in room Peter Tunner. Students can contact the chair, Clemens Langbauer, with any additional questions.

Basics
Calculate the pressure at the bottom of a 3000 meter deep vertical well.
The fluid column is 2000 meter high and has a density of 1000 kg/m.
The pressure above this zone is 1 MPa.

pbottom = p0 + gh = 1 + 1000.9,81.2000 6 = 20,62 MPa

Target: Quick estimation of the temperature in
the wellbore
Reason:
- Drilling muds / cements
- Elongation of the equipment / cable
- Electronic components
- Seals of downhole equipment / elastomers
T d = Tsurface + Ggrad . d/100

Average annual Tsurface in Austria ~ 15C


Ggrad ~ 3 C / 100m
Gas expanding, as it enters the borehole from
the reservoir formation is much cooler than the
adjacent formation.
