Abstract
A model of the wells in the Arun Field in Indonesia was developed to assist the prediction of present and future well performance and estimate corrosion potential of the wells. The model was developed to predict:
Pressure and temperature profiles in each well;
Phase equilibrium including liquid water dropout;
Velocity profiles in the tubing string;
Entrainment and wall shear stresses throughout the tubing.
The program predictions match measured temperature and pressure data very well. The program results have been used to qualitatively estimate potential corrosion locations and severity, and have also been used in conjunction with reservoirs models to predict well deliverability.
