RESEARCH INTERESTS

Wellbore Heat transfer.

Systematic modeling of heat transfer in wellbores. Current work plan is to develop heat transfer
models for subsea completion in deep water settings.
Transient Transport Processes.
Modeling fluid temperature and pressure during shut-in, startup, or rate change is complicated by the
coupled nature of these transport processes. We are using numerical and semi-analytical approaches
for modeling transient flow of heat, mass, and momentum in wellbores. Future work in this area
includes modeling wellbore transient heat transfer to convert wellhead pressure during water injection
in unconventional formations. Analysis of warmback data to improve DTS visualization and
interpretation is another important future research topic.

Wellbore/Reservoir Fluid Flow

Many processes require an integrated approach to modeling fluid flow and pressure drop in both the
reservoir and the wellbore. We are using such an approach to better understand the process of liquid
loading of gas wells and well blow out.
