Numerical investigation of gas‐liquid displacement between borehole and gassy fracture using response surface methodology

Abstract Gas‐liquid displacement occurs often in fractured gas reservoirs, and can cause gas kick and mud leakage, resulting in a very high risk of losing well control. To analyze gas‐liquid displacement between borehole and gassy fracture, we used computational fluid dynamics to simulate its behavi...
