Knowing the temperature distribution in gas well is of great importance to gas well design and dynamic analysis; accurate prediction of wellbore temperature distribution can improve the accuracy of wellbore pressure prediction. Based on energy conservation law, a mathematical model for calculating wellboretemperature distribution in a gas well has been developed. This model assumes steady-state heat transfer inside the wellbore and transient heat transfer in the adjacent formation. Data from the literature are used to testify the validity of the model. Results indicate that the temperature distribution predicted by the model agrees well with the measured data.
According to the technical procedures and the characteristics of well -testing for a swabbing well and the formation pressure distribution of last swabbing, we developed a new mathematics model of well-testing analysis for the next step swabbing, and obtained the theoretical solution for this new model in Laplace space. Application results in Changqing oil field showed that this new model can describe the characteristics of transient drops of the well pressure in swabbing producer and the changes of the non- regularly characteristics of the well pressure during the swabbing procedures. The ratio of the well -testing data is used and the reliability of the analysis results can be also increased. The well pressure of a swabbing producing well can be calculated with this new model as well.
