Practical natural gas engineering
According to the author, there is no fundamental difference between the behavior of wells producing liquids and the behavior of wells producing gas. This book bridges the gap between the results of empirical testing and the theory of unsteady-state flow in porous media. It strengthens the bond between conventional reservoir engineering practices and understanding gas well behavior. Problems are included at the end of each chapter for use in the classroom. Contents: Introduction to natural gas engineering; Properties of natural gas; Application of gas laws to reservoir engineering; Gas measurement; Flow of natural gas in circular pipe and annular conductors; Flow of gas in porous media; Gas well testing; Unsteady-state flow behavior of gas wells; Production forecasting for gas wells; Production decline curves for gas wells; Sizing flow strings for gas wells; Gas sales contracts; Compressibility for natural gas; Gas measurement factors.
