The effects of three major factors on the wellbore dynamical characteristics of the high-pressure SC-CO2 jet, i.e., the nozzle diameter, the standoff distance and the jet pressure are determined. It is indicated that the pressure of CO2 reduces severely in the SC-CO2 jet impact process. It is also found that the bottom-hole pressure and the temperature increase as the nozzle diameter increases but de- crease with the increase of the standoff distance. The higher the jet pressure at the welIbore inlet is, the higher the pressure and the lower the temperature at the bottom-hole will be.展开更多
