    Abstract: The disclosure presents processes for improving the design phase of plastic material lined tubular structures used downhole of a borehole. A plastic material lined tubular structure model is utilized for tubular structures that have a metal layer, a grout layer, and a plastic material layer. The model can use a modified wall thickness for the metal layer. A strength model can be applied to the modified critical dimensions, e.g., wall thickness parameters. A thermal model can be applied to the tubular structure to determine pressure and temperature parameters. The strength model and the thermal model outputs can be utilized by a stress analyzer to determine loads, safety factors, and design limit parameters. The plastic material lined tubular structure model can enable more efficient use of tubular structures, designing a longer operational lifetime, such as in acidic environments, or the use of thinner structures while maintaining a satisfactory operational lifetime.

    Abstract: A method for simulating a well system can include providing a well system model, providing a jet pump model, providing at least one calculation engine, inputting an input parameter, defining a mechanical configuration of the well system, integrating a jet pump model into a well system model, computing a solution to a model, and determining at least one production condition of a well system. A computer readable medium can have instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, can cause the processor to perform a method including accessing a well system model, accessing a jet pump model, integrating the jet pump model and the well system model, computing a solution to a combined model, and determining a production condition of a well system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining vector-ratio safety factors for wellbore tubular design are provided. Pressure and temperature data for at least one load point along a tubular component of a wellbore are obtained. An effective failure axial load expected at the load point is calculated during a downhole operation to be performed along one or more sections of the wellbore within a subsurface formation, based on the obtained data. An upper boundary and a lower boundary for the effective failure axial load are determined, based on physical properties of the tubular component at the load point. A midpoint of the effective failure axial load is calculated based on the upper and lower boundaries. A critical failure differential pressure is calculated, based on the midpoint of the effective failure axial load. A vector-ratio safety factor is calculated, based on the critical failure differential pressure relative to the effective failure axial load.
