Academic Level 2: Well Performance and Nodal Analysis
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
