During the drilling, completion and testing of gas well with high temperature, high pressure and high sulfur content, toxic gas leakage is dangerous and may bring severe consequences. It's important for the safety of personnel and assets to ascertain the leaking position and research the leakage characteristics. Focusing on the wellsite-scale space, this paper discussed the key position of leakage for different well procedures, and calculated the dispersion of leaked gas with the software FLUENT based on three dimension methods of computational fluid dynamics. Characteristics of toxic gas dispersion is discussed, and influence of wind speed, toxic gas components, leakage flowrate, temperature and wellsite obstacles is considered, which would help to optimize the monitoring locations. New proposal was put forward in simulation of multicomponent gas disperion on wellsite, as well as in explaination of toxic gas accumulation around obstacles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
