Abstract: To seek the solution of the coupled model of temperature and pressure field in deep-water gas well testing,it is necessary to optimize the gas-liquid two-phase flow model. Based on two-phase nozzle flow model,twophase liquid holdup formula and two-phase productivity equation,the differential equations of unsteady pressure drop and heat transfer model about time and space were established,and Newton Raphson method was applied to realize the simulation of the transient process of blowout. The results show that:(1)The method can truly simulate the two stages of liquid level rising and formation gas production in blowout stage. (2)The predicted wellhead parameters are consistent with actual conditions,and the average error of wellhead pressure and temperature is less than 5%,which meets the engineering accuracy requirements.(3)The simulation results reconstructed the dynamic process of induced flow and test completion fluid blowout in wellbore, and can provide basis for reasonable test design.(4)For deep water gas wells with high productivity,larger size string and nozzle should be used to improve well cleaning speed and prevent ice blockage. The example analysis shows that the mathematical model truly reflects the test blowout process of deep water gas wells. The research results have certain guiding significance for the test scheme design and follow-up evaluation of deep water gas wells.

Key words: deep water well testing, multiphase flow, coupled model of temperature and pressure field, numerical simulation, unsteady flow
