Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas well deliqufication, also referred to as "gas well dewatering", is the general term for technologies used to remove water or condensates buildup from producing gas wells. When natural gas flows to the surface in a producing gas well, the gas carries liquids to the surface if the velocity of the gas is high enough. A high gas velocity results in a mist flow pattern in which liquids are finely dispersed in the gas. Consequently, a low volume of liquid is present in the tubing or production conduit, resulting in a pressure drop caused by gravity acting on the flowing fluids. As the gas velocity in the production tubing drops with time, the velocity of the liquids carried by the gas declines even faster. Flow patterns of liquids on the walls of the conduit cause liquid to accumulate in the bottom of the well, which can either slow or stop gas production altogether.

Book excerpt: Liquid loading is an inevitable phenomenon for most gas wells. Liquid loading occurs when fluids accumulate in the wellbore instead of producing to the surface. This causes additional hydrostatic pressure that lowers formation drawdown and reduces production. The process of de-watering gas wells is commonly known as gas well deliquification. This involves quantifying if liquid production is the source of un-optimization in the well and selecting an appropriate artificial lift system to offload the well. This study presents a gas well deliquification workflow, that quantifies the extent of liquid loading through production analysis, critical unloading rate, and nodal analysis. Once liquid loading is confirmed, a design & review workflow is suggested that compares different artificial lifts to select the most effective choice. Production analysis includes; (a) evaluating decline trend of rate and estimated bottom hole pressure, (b) Nodal analysis, to create a calibrated baseline model that is used as a reference during artificial lift design, (c) VLP Stability, and Flow-point analysis to qualitatively understand unstable flow in the wellbore. A new critical rate calculation workflow is developed to quantitatively confirm liquid loading. This workflow utilizes published critical gas rate correlations and wellhead pressure as a weighing criterion to estimate a weighted average critical rate. A separate data-driven model, where machine learning is used to estimate critical rate for a target well given its well parameters is also formulated. Both workflows are shown to better predict critical gas rate than most published models. If liquid loading is confirmed, applicable lift systems are designed, and their production impact is gauged through nodal analysis. With a direct comparison of all applicable systems, most suitable system is selected that maximizes incremental production. Design & Review workflow is applied to a field in Lower Indus Basin, Pakistan. Several wells are evaluated to check if liquid loading is a problem and artificial lift can improve production. S-field is the largest field in this dataset, where 10 wells are evaluated. Among the technologies suggested for these wells are Gas lift, Coiled Tubing Gas Lift, and Plunger Assisted Gas lifts. Beam lift and velocity strings are found to be less effective in the specific case of S-field. Several artificial lift selection workflows are published that focus on selecting lifts for oil wells. Most only focus on the lift selection and do not include any production analysis to ascertain if liquid loading is the cause of low production. Further, many critical rate correlations are published however most are applicable for specific ranges of well parameters. This study attempts to provide a thorough gas well deliquification workflow. It includes production analysis to quantify root cause, new critical rate calculation that is universally applicable on most wells, and artificial lift selection process, specific to gas well deliquification, to select the most suitable lift system

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural gas is playing an increasing role in meeting world energy demands because of its abundance, versatility, and its clean burning nature. As a result, lots of new gas exploration, field development and production activities are under way, especially in places where natural gas until recently was labeled as "stranded. Because a significant portion of natural gas reserves worldwide are located across bodies of water, gas transportation in the form of LNG or CNG becomes an issue as well. Finally natural gas is viewed in comparison to the recently touted alternatives. Therefore, there is a need to have a book covering all the unique aspects and challenges related to natural gas from the upstream to midstream and downstream. All these new issues have not been addressed in depth in any existing book. To bridge the gap, Xiuli Wang and Michael Economides have written a new book called Advanced Natural Gas Engineering. This book will serve as a reference for all engineers and professionals in the energy business. It can also be a textbook for students in petroleum and chemical engineering curricula and in training departments for a large group of companies.
