Wellbore and soil thermal simulation for geothermal wells: development of computer model and acquisition of field temperature data. Part I report

G.R. Wooley

Abstract

A downhole thermal simulator has been developed to improve understanding of the high downhole temperatures that affect many design factors in geothermal wells. This development is documented and field temperature data presented for flowing and shut-in conditions.
