Abstract

Summary A series of field tests on liquid loading of gas wells demonstrated that various types of behavior could be encountered in such wells. On the basis of the test results, an improved model for predicting the performance of gas wells producing liquids was formulated. This model takes into account multiphase reservoir performance and the vertical flow performance of the tubings for wet gas. It provides improved estimates for gas deliverability and the remaining life of watering-out gas wells, compared with common methods that calculate "critical" conditions at a single point (usually the wellhead) in the tubing string.
