| Abstract | Predictions are made of the pressure and temperature distributions in two flowing wells using two different wellbore simulators. The predictions are compared with the measurements. The predictions of a discharge characteristicare also compared the measured characteristic. One of the simulators is based on flashing flow two-phase correlations and the other on correlationsfor heated flows. Homogenous flow equations are used to show that the heated flow correlations should not be expected to give good results, yet the simulator based on them sometimes shows better results than the other. The reasons are discussed. |
