Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

The book discusses the characters of tubular strings in HTHP(High Temperature - High Pressure) oil and gas wells. These characters include the mechanical behavior of tubular strings, the temperature and pressure variation of tubular strings in different conditions. For different conditions, the book establishes mathematical models, and discusses solution existence and uniqueness of some models, gives algorithms corresponding to the different models. The book provides numerical experiments to verify the validity of models and the feasibility of algorithms, and also discussed the impact of the parameters of models for oil and gas wells.
This book is written for researchers and technicians in petroleum and gas testing and production engineering. It is also intended to serve as a reference book for college teachers and students.
