CTEMP iconCTEMP - circulating temperature modeling

In circulating wells, the geothermal temperatures encountered can cause problems with drilling fluids, drill pipe, and casing. To evaluate the effects of these high temperatures on the drill pipe and casing, it is necessary to know the temperature distributions in these pipe strings.
CTEMP combines techniques from a number of different engineering disciplines, and predicts wellbore temperatures. Given a well configuration, CTEMP calculates the temperature distribution in the wellbore by using numerical methods for different operation circumstances.
