Based on the numerical model describing the nonisothermal motion of a two-phase fluid in a well with a multibed system, the problem of the takeoff of a live crude from a well operating on two reservoir beds with the temperature field formed under the action of the adiabatic effect, Joule–Thomson effect, and of the crude degassing heat, is considered. The characteristic features of temperature effects in a dual completion well with variation of the Henry solubility coefficient and of the permeability of some of the reservoir beds are considered.
