Abstract

The process of evaporation of gas condensate during emergency blowout of an underwater well has been studied insufficiently. The influence of various factors on the size of the zone of intense evaporation of gas condensate during the blowout of a shallow gas condensate well requires detailed consideration. In this paper, the researchers, using mathematical modeling, have analyzed this effect for wells with parameters characteristic of the Russian Arctic region. They have performed the calculations using the SPILLMOD model and the Lagrangian element evolution model. A significant dependence of the gas outlet area size and the gas blowout size on the sea surface on the values of the gas plume involvement parameter in the model has been revealed, and at the same time a weak dependence of the size of the zone of intense evaporation of gas condensate on this parameter. The values of the mass flow rate of gas condensate in the discharge, as well as its fractional composition, have a noticeably greater effect.
