Thermal Profiles in Water Injection Wells: Reduction in the Systematic Error of Flow Measurements during the Transient Regime.

This article presents an analytical solution for calculating the flow rate in water injection wells based on the established thermal profile along the tubing. The intent is to minimize the intrinsic systematic error of classic quasi-static methodologies, which assume that all thermal transience on well completion has passed. When these techniques are applied during the initial hours of injection well operation, it can result in errors higher than 20%.

System of Sensors and Actuators for the Production of Water Used in the Manufacture of Medicines.

This paper presents the development and implementation of a centralized industrial network for an automatic purified water production system used in the pharmaceutical industry. This implementation is part of a project to adapt an industrial plant to cope with advances in industrial technology to achieve the level of Industry 4.0.

Study of Flow Rate Measurements Derived from Temperature Profiles of an Emulated Well by a Laboratory Prototype.

The objective of this work is the study of the procedure for flow rate measurement derived from temperature profiles. This method is deemed appropriate because of the inability to mount conventional flow meters in multiple-zone oil wells. In this work, a reduced-scale prototype well with horizontal geometry was developed to study and validate a method of flow profiling by temperature measurements in the well column based on a heat transfer mathematical model studied by Ramey in 1962.
