In [1–3] and other studies devoted to the determination of the temperature field of an oil reservoir when injecting into it a fluid with a temperature different from that of the initial reservoir temperature, the one-dimensional fluid flow (linear or radial) was considered in the case of an injection gallery or a single injection well in the reservoir. The problem was formulated in [4] with an arbitrary distribution of wells, but the solution was obtained only for the integral thermal-loss characteristic. To evaluate the coverage of the reservoir by the thermal effect, we must know the temperature distribution in the multi-well reservoir system at any instant of time. In this paper we propose a method for calculating the reservoir temperature field in the case of two-dimensional fluid flow using the simplifying assumptions which were used earlier by Lauwerier [1] and other authors to describe the thermal phenomena in a reservoir. |
