Well Performance Templates
Inflow performance and multiphase tubing flow — the two sides of the nodal analysis point.
17 blueprints
Vertical Well Inflow
Steady-state, pseudosteady-state and transient inflow for vertical wells.
6 blueprintsHorizontal Well Inflow
Steady-state and pseudosteady-state inflow for horizontal completions.
1 blueprintGas Well Inflow
Deliverability for gas wells under pseudosteady-state flow.
1 blueprintDrainage & Wellbore Geometry
Drainage radius, shape factors and equivalent wellbore radius.
1 blueprintSingle-Phase Tubing Flow
Pressure traverse for single-phase liquid and gas in tubing.
3 blueprintsMultiphase Empirical Correlations
Gray, Beggs & Brill, Orkiszewski, Hagedorn & Brown, Duns & Ros and Poettmann-Carpenter pressure traverse.
3 blueprintsNodal Analysis (IPR + VLP)
Determine well operating point by intersecting the IPR curve (Vogel) with the VLP curve (Beggs-Brill multiphase tubing correlation). The node is at bottomhole — sweep flowing pressure to compute IPR rates and corresponding VLP bottomhole pressures. The operating point occurs where IPR Pwf equals VLP Pwf at the same rate.
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.
