Abstract
The paper gives a systems analysis in the field of heat transfer and temperature distribution (TD) along the length of oil production wells (OPW). The analysis shows that the existing mathematical models are suitable only for determining TD along the length of casing string (CS) and are not suitable for determining TD along the length of the tubing run, since the existence of the interfacial (between the CS and the tubing) annulus of the fluid and gas layers with heat capacity and thermal conductivity that differ significantly from the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of rocks surrounding the CS. Given the above, mathematical models taking into account the impact of the fluid and gas layers in the annulus on the heat transfer from the upward fluid flow to the tubing wall and from the wall to the interfacial annulus are developed. To ensure the technological effectiveness of the obtained model, formulas for quantitative estimation of the heat transfer of the fluid flow into the surrounding environment are given.
