Book Description

Book thoroughly treats the properties of natural gases and gas condensates, discusses the existing methods for calculating reservoir properties and predicting inflow performance. Flow through the piping system, including tubing and gathering lines is discussed as is the effects of two-phase flow and gas well dewatering. The steps involved in selecting gas compressors, including power requirements and number of stages is outlined. A total system analysis describes the total system approach to optimizing the entire production system with numerous examples illustrating the effects of tubing size, perforations, separator pressure, and compression. Information essential in day-to-day operations covers flow measuring, gas condensate reservoir behavior, field operations problems, and field gas processing. Detection of abnormal well performance, separator selection, and prediction of hydrate formation are illustrated.
