Gas Well Deliquification - GWD - In House Training

Gas Well Deliquification - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. As gas wells deplete, the velocity in the tubing drops and eventually liquids from the well and from condensation begin to accumulate in the tubing. This increase of liquids in the tubing adds back pressure on the formation, which in turn reduces flow or even stops flow all together. The course introduces this problem and discusses how to recognize liquid loading as opposed to other possible well problems. The course will then cover the various methods of solving the problem of liquid loading, showing how to apply the various solutions and the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Solution methods include use of surfactants, velocity strings, compression, use of plunger lift, various other pumping methods, gas lift, and the injection of fluids below a packer so gas can flow up the annulus. The attendee should be able to recognize the problem of liquid loading and have a good idea of which methods can solve the problem and select the best method/s for solution after attending the course. There are about 400,000 gas wells in the USA and most are liquid loaded. Solving this problem may on the average increase production by ~40% per well. The course will consist of slide presentations, example problems and discussion. Some films will be shown.
