Modelling of pressure drop for threephase flow in horizontal wells

In most usual situations, the flow into an horizontal weIl will be turbulent due to high flow rates and is expected to have a large impact on the weIl behaviour and production performance. Therefore, accurate pressure drop calculations are needed for a proper representation of mono and multi-phase flow in the wellbore. This is of great interest when simulating highly permeable oil rims when water or gas coning may occur.
