摘要
Lots of studies have been done to model the flow behavior and probable processes in producing geothermal wells. As the deposition of particles can cause a decline in the expected flow rate, and it is not desirable, so the scale has to been predicted, treated, and removed. In this study, a geothermal wellbore simulator program is presented that predicts scale precipitation and deposition during drilling in addition to modeling production conditions. The novelty of this study is wellbore simulating and scale modeling in one package, but the most important limitation of the model is its applicability just in cased parts.
