C
omputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can be used to
analyse the fluid behaviour in oil wells, where the CFD
allows conducting three-dimensional (3D) simulations of
interpenetrating or immiscible fluids that comprise impacts
of pressure, temperature and fluid mass transfer in detail.
Recently, the CFD is used tomore varied challenges such as sand
transport,coupledmechanicalmodellingoffailingwellboresand
gas well clean-up. CFD has been utilized to model the crushed
area around perforation tunnels and as well to predict good
performance based on laboratory testing. Where the reservoir
is involved in these models they are fully coupled and flow has
enableddeep in the reservoir and in toeachpoint along thewell.
Capturing the simultaneous flow of fluids in the reservoir and
in the well is fundamental, to predict performance in wells
and reservoirs with complicated geometry. Further advances
that assist sand failure and sand transport to be modelled are
also illustrated. The case is employed for use of CFD or similar
modelling processes where complicated wells or complicated
reservoirs have considered. CFD modelling for the oil and
gas sector providing informed analysis of the data that can
assist designers and operators solve flow issues, extend life
of flow lines and ensure the efficient delivery of the product.
