SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING MULTI-PHASE FLUID RATES IN A SUBTERRANEAN WELL

摘要

Methods and systems for estimating multi-phase fluid rates in a subterranean well. Stored and measured static and transient well conditions are used to model well conditions for comparison against additional transient data relating to temperature, pressure, and flow. Multi-phase fluid rates are estimated by iteratively comparing well conditions with the model for the well. Multi-phase fluid flow estimates maybe obtained for the various liquid and gaseous fluids in the well at multiple well locations.
