Flowing Well Performance and Production System Analysis
Establish Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) and determine flowing well potential. Use systems analysis approach to predict and optimize production. Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to: use production data to define a well's IPR and flow potential under current operating conditions, predict changes in well potential resulting from declining reservoir pressures, evaluate the effects of various operating parameters on flowing well performance, design a single-well production system based on analysis of individual system components, select the appropriate tubing and flowline diameters for optimizing well performance, and predict future production rates based on changing operating conditions.
