| High downhole temperatures place great demands on drilling fluids and production systems. For two-phase drilling fluids (as are used in underbalanced drilling), prediction of downhole pressures and flow conditions is very difficult. GTEMP is a thermal simulation program used to predict wellbore temperatures. A variety of well operations can be modeled, including injection, production, forward circulation, and reverse circulation with liquid, gas, or two-phase steam.

Calculated radial temperature distribution with depth
Temperature distribution can be shown for any depth/position along the wellbore.
Temperatures in the tubing and annulus are shown here after a
