Based on analysis of flow regime during the gas well production with water, which is regarded as many single particles in the model, with the shape of particles being assumed as disk-like ellipsoid instead of traditional sphere and changing according to the forces exerted on them, the influences of non-Darcy flow, compressibility, and non-sphere shape on friction factor are analyzed. The differences between the new model and other models are discussed and a new formula for calculating the critical flow rate is obtained. The calculation results and a comparison with other two models show that the new model is more consistent with the actual situation and is practical.展开更多

Moreover, it affects the critical liquid carrying rate. The pressure difference prediction model must be determined, because of the existing one lacking theoretical basis. Based on the droplet surface pressure distribution in high velocity gas streams, a new model is established to predict the average differential pressure of droplets. Compared with the new differential pressure prediction results, the existing pressure difference prediction results were overvalued by 46.0%. This article also improves four gas-well critical liquid carrying models using the proposed pressure difference prediction model, and compares with the original one. The result indicates that the critical velocity of the original models is undervalued by 10% or so, due to the overestimate to the pressuredifference. In addition, comparisons of the improved model with original models show that it is necessary to consider the adaptability, because the models have significant differences in results, and different suitability for different well conditions.展开更多
