CTEMP - Circulation Temperature Software

In circulating wells, the geothermal temperatures encountered can cause problems with drilling fluids, drill pipe, and casing. To evaluate the effects of these high temperatures on the drill pipe and casing, it is necessary to know the temperature distributions in these pipe strings. CTEMP combines techniques from a number of different engineering disciplines, and predicts wellbore temperatures. Given a well configuration, CTEMP calculates the temperature distribution in the wellbore by using numerical methods for different operational circumstances.

CTEMP

Circulation Temperature

As the search for petroleum resources become more extreme in terms of depths, pressures,
and temperatures (HPHT drilling), wellbore circulating temperature prediction becomes very
crucial. It has implications for flow assurance (wax, hydrates, viscosity), stress analysis,
drilling tool temperature tolerance, completion fluid density, cementing, and other variables.
Predicting circulating temperature in deepwater wells is further complicated by the presence
of risers and choke/kill/boost lines.
Pegasus Vertex, Inc. (PVI) is leading the way with software technology by developing
CTEMP, which predicts the wellbore circulating temperature for drilling/circulating operations.
CTEMP addresses the transient heat transfer between the wellbore and the sea water/rock
formation. CTEMPs interactive on-screen graphic results provide operation guidelines for
expensive HPHT drilling operations.
