Abstract: During the course of production of high sulfur gas well, temperature and pressure falls continually along well bore, solubility of sulfur particles in gas phase declines, and sulfur particle precipitate in well bore from gas phase
after running up to saturation state if velocity of gas is less than critical sustaining velocity of particle, sequentially resulting in blockage of gaseous flow channel. Gas well production may halts when sulfur deposition became severe. In this paper, an integrated forecast model of sulfur deposition in high sulfur gas well is presented by coupling pressure and temperature forecasting model, critical sustaining velocity model of particle and model of solubility of
sulfur particles in gas phase. A case analysis is carried out in well-L. The result shows that, with production decrease,gaseous velocity gradually declines, and therefore, area of sulfur deposition steps up along borehole after production
declines to critical production.

Key words: high sulfur gas well, well bore, sulfur deposition, location, critical velocity
