General Overview of Nodal Analysis: Supply/Demand analogies, natural balance and stable/unstable equilibrium concepts, diminishing returns, independent/dependent subsystems, converging/diverging flows; Inflow Performance: Reservoir performance basics, Darcy, Jones and Ramey turbulence parameters, empirical models of Vogel and Fetkovich, the benefits and drawbacks of well-test and C&N values, appropriate models for differing well descriptions, rigorous multi-layer IPR curves including crossflow effects; Completion Performance: Completion modeling basics, perforation and gravel pack pressure drop, linear and radial flow patterns through gravel packs, the pressure drop in a gravel-filled wellbore, optimal perforation density, the rate reduction caused by a partial completion; Tubing Performance: Wellbore related pressure drops and dynamics, videotapes of vertical and horizontal flow patterns, diverging and converging flow dynamics, route preference, production logging physics in deviated/horizontal wellbores, wellbore slugging and pressure behavior in vertical, deviated, and horizontal wellbores, friction drop through restrictions and undulating horizontal sections, sonic flow and minimum lifting rates concepts, unloading techniques and examples; Flowline Performance: Panhandle, C&S, Dukler pressure drop models, identifying bottlenecks in a gathering network, line loops and jumpers, circular/parallel/layered gathering systems; Future performance: Integrating reservoir performance, development planning, and market constraints into field forecasts, optimizing capital investments when juggling new well, re-completion, compressor, artificial lift, and flowline options; Artificial Lift: Advanced Gas lift design and troubleshooting, electric submersible pump fundamentals, jet pumps, and sucker rod pumping basics; Other: Designing dynamic kills (video tapes of kill operations), liquid content in gas streams, why there is no such thing as a "dry" gas well, identifying loaded wells, predicting wellbore temperatures and why publicly available bottomhole pressure data is almost always lower than reality
