Oilwell deliverability monitoring: A case history
Conference

OSTI ID:397940
This paper presents a case history study that demonstrates a method to monitor wellhead deliverability performance for flowing oil wells in a manner similar to gas wells. Separator test data measured for production allocation are used along with the material balance relationship and multiphase flow analysis to develop a wellhead backpressure curve for flowing oil wells. An equivalent wellhead static pressure for flowing oil wells is described and shown to be a function of reservoir depletion and multiphase flow rate. Determination of the equivalent wellhead static pressure extends the understanding of wellhead backpressure analysis for both flowing oil and flowing gas wells.
