A Predictive Model for Wellbore Temperature in High-Sulfur Gas Wells Incorporating Sulfur Deposition
Processes(2024)
摘要
HSG (high-sulfur gas) reservoirs are prevalent globally, yet their exploitation is hindered by elevated levels of hydrogen sulfide. A decrease in temperature and pressure may result in the formation of sulfur deposits, thereby exerting a notable influence on gas production. Test instruments are susceptible to significant corrosion due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide, resulting in challenges in obtaining bottom hole temperature and pressure test data. Consequently, a WTD (wellbore temperature distribution) model incorporating sulfur precipitation was developed based on PPP (physical property parameter), heat transfer, and GSTP (gas–solid two-phase) flow models. The comparison of a 2.53% temperature error and a 4.80% pressure error with actual field test data indicates that the established model exhibits high accuracy. An analysis is conducted on the impact of various factors, such as production, sulfur layer thickness, reservoir temperature, and reservoir pressure, on the distribution of the wellbore temperature field and pressure field. Increased gas production leads to higher wellhead temperatures. The presence of sulfur deposits reduces the flow area and wellhead pressure. A 40% concentration of hydrogen sulfide results in a 2 MPa pressure drop compared to a 20% concentration. Decreased reservoir pressure and temperature facilitate the formation of sulfur deposits at the wellhead.
