l2wpna26

Objectives

At the end of the session, you will be able to:

• list and describe the various types of Inflow systems

• recall when they are applied.

• state their main advantages and disadvantages

. Explain the concept of Nodal Analysis.

. Define the following terms: inflow performance curve, outflow performance curve, system graph, solution node

- explain the flow regimes governing the reservoir well inflow and recognise the relationships for stabilized flow.

     – Estimate gas well deliverability

– Define inflow performance curve, outflow performance curve, solution node

– Use systems analysis to estimate production rates
