Practical natural gas engineering, 2nd edition
This book reports on remedial measures for gas wells and new methods for calculating the position of the stabilized performance curves for gas wells as well as the heating value for natural gases from compositional analyses. In addition, the author includes problem solutions in an appendix and a section showing the relation between the conventional empirical equation and the theoretical performance equation of A.S. Odeh. The author successfully 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 listed at the end of each chapter are excellent exercises for practitioners. This book provides information on: 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 (a review); 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; Remedial measures for gas wells; Gas sales contracts; and appendices on Compressibility for natural gas, Gas measurement factors, SI metric conversion factors, and Solutions to problems.
