Resumen Transcripción del resúmen publicado por el autor: In this paper a comprehensive flow model which incorporates compositional and non-isothermal effects is proposed to investigate asphaltene precipitation onset conditions in advanced well completions. The focus is on precipitation induced by pressure and temperature conditions, particularly in flow restrictions used in wells to delay unwanted break through of water/gas. A network model is used with a non-isothermal black oil fluid model to predict the distribution of pressure, temperature, flow rate and phase fractions in all components of the well completion. The network geometry consists of a production tubing (or liner) and an annulus between the reservoir and the tubing. This geometry will allow for flow between the annulus and the tubing through inflow control devices which are commonly used for zonal control. An asphaltene precipitation envelope is used to identify locations in the well completion at risk. Subsequently, a fully compositional and non-isothermal model is invoked at these locations. This detailed model uses a Finite Difference representation of conservation of mass, energy and momentum. Furthermore, it uses an isenthalpic pseudo-three-phase equilibrium model to predict if asphaltene precipitation actually will occur inside the restriction. A case study is presented in which the proposed model was successfully used to predict physical flow parameters and asphaltene onset conditions. It was found that asphaltene precipitation may occur in flow restriction due to large pressure drop. Furthermore, it was found that the use of isothermal modeling to predict asphaltene precipitation may lead to underestimation of the precipitation. It is concluded that the details of the well completion must be represented in the flow model since pressure and temperature may vary non-monotonically from toe to heel in advanced well completions.
