| Sumario: | The correct application of geothermal wellbore flow simulators is a useful tool since their adequate calibration and use oftenavoids the need to perform costly experimental PTQ logs inside geothermal wells. Two existing wellbore flow simulators, GEOPOZOand WELFLO, were used to obtain pressure and temperature profiles and the results were compared with experimentally measuredPT logs in well Az-19 from the Los Azufres, Mexico, geothermal field. PT logs were run using high-precision electronic loggingequipment. Comparison of experimentally measured and computed PT profiles shows a maximum error of 3.2% for the pressureprofile obtained with the WELFLO simulator. |
