Abstract
A method for determining annular fluid expansion (“AFE”) within a borehole with a sealed casing string annulus. The method may include defining a configuration of the borehole. The method may further include defining a production operation and a borehole operation. The method may also include determining AFE within the borehole when performing the production operation. The method may further include determining AFE within the borehole when performing the borehole operation based on the AFE within the borehole when performing the production operation.
