Single-Phase Gas Well Pressure

Description

Calculate pressure drop in single-phase gas wells using the compressible flow equations. Suitable for dry gas wells with no liquid loading.

Parameters required:

  • Gas rate, specific gravity, viscosity
  • Gas compressibility factor (Z)
  • Pipe geometry and inclination

Deviated Well VLP Analysis

Analyze vertical lift performance in deviated and inclined wells using correlations that properly account for inclination angle. Four correlations support non-vertical wells:

Multiphase Correlation Comparison

Compare pressure drop predictions from all ten industry-standard multiphase flow correlations. Understanding correlation differences helps engineers select the most appropriate method for specific well conditions.

Single-Phase Liquid Pipe Flow

Calculate pressure drop for single-phase liquid flow in pipes using the Fanning equation. Applicable to water injection, water disposal, and single-phase oil lines.

Tubing Size Selection Analysis

Compare pressure drops across different tubing sizes to optimize well production. Smaller tubing increases friction but maintains velocity for liquid lift; larger tubing reduces friction but may cause liquid loading in gas wells.

Vertical Lift Performance - Beggs & Brill

Calculate vertical lift performance (VLP) for a producing oil well using the Beggs & Brill (1973) correlation. This correlation handles multiphase (gas-liquid) flow and is applicable for any wellbore inclination.
