The Volsung wellbore simulator is designed with visual features and built on sound physical principles, it provides detailed wellbore models in less time, enabling greater insight into well performance.
Â
What will the course cover?
• Setting up a wellbore model in Volsung: Defining the well track, casing, heat loss and feed zone properties
• Defining thermodynamic conditions of the fluid
• Specifying field data
• Calibrating the model to flowing pressure, temperature, and spinner (PTS) data
• Calculating a production well deliverability curve
• Forecasting changes in well performance in response to changes in reservoir and well conditions
