In spite of the fact that the transient well tests are an integral part of the methods of control over the oil-field development, the “traditional” methods of pressure well testing do not provide one detailed information filtration properties of a fracture. Considering the temperature dynamics in the operation or shut-in well is a way to expand the number of determined reservoir parameters. Present methods, based on analytical solutions, do not allow one to take into account all significant thermohydrodynamic processes. Therefore, a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the pressure and temperature propagation taking into account all the thermodynamic effects in the well, reservoir and fracture is a relevant problem.
The aim of the present work is the development of a program code to study thermohydrodynamic processes in injection wells in the presence of a fracture, as well as analysis of the numerical simulation results. A mathematical model describes the propagation of temperature and pressure in the reservoir for a three-dimensional case and in the vertical well for a one-dimensional case, taking into account the throttling effect and adiabatic expansion. On the basis of numerical simulation the analysis of the temperature change in the well and reservoir with a fracture, and temperature sensitivity to the change in flow rate are conducted. The proposed approach is used to analyze the pressure and temperature data obtained during pressure fall-off tests and temperature build-up tests in the injection well with a fracture.
