    Well Performance & Tubing

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses well performance and tubing selection. It defines productivity index as the relation between oil well inflow and pressure drawdown, noting that productivity is affected by oil viscosity, formation volume factor, and relative permeability to oil. It also describes the three components of pressure loss in tubing during flow: hydrostatic pressure gradient, frictional pressure losses, and slippage pressure losses. Factors affecting vertical flow pressure loss are listed as tubing size, flow rate, gravity, viscosity, gas-liquid ratio, water-oil ratio, and slippage effect. The objectives of tubing string selection and design are to optimize production, enable routine maintenance and stimulation treatment, allow well killing, and enable abandonment and gas lift.

    Well performance & tubing selection

    1) WHAT’S “PRODUCTIVITY INDEX”? AND MENTION THE FACTORS


    AFFECTING ON IF?
    Productivity Index (Jo)is the relation between oil well inflow (qo) and pressure drawdown

    Variables affecting the productivity index:

    • Oil viscosity μo
    • Oil formation volume factor Bo
    • Relative permeability to oil kro

    2) WHAT ARE COMPONENTS OF PRESSURE LOSS?


    The Pressure Losses in the tubing during flowing are the result of the three components:

    (1)The hydrostatic pressure gradient which is a function to the density of the fluid.
    (2)The frictional pressure losses which is a function to the tubing size and the properties
    of the flowing fluid.
    (3)The slippage pressure losses which is a function to the tubing size and the flow
    regimes.

    3) WHAT ARE FACTORS AFFECTING ON VERTICAL FLOW


    PRESSURE LOSS?
     Tubing Size
     Flow rate
     Gravity
     Viscosity
     Gas Liquid Ratio
     Water Oil Ratio
     Slippage Effect
    4) What are Tubing String Selection and Design Objectives?
    To enable:

    1. Optimize production from producing zones


    2. Routine maintenance (wire line)
    3. Facilitate stimulation treatment
    4. Well killing
    5. Abandonment
    6. natural gas lift, optimum use of expanding gas

    5) What are Tubing Material selection requirements?


    • Selection requires the specification of :

    1. material grade (=quality)


    2. operational parameters
    3. dimensions
    4. thread and connection type
