The productivity of a perforated gas well is strongly affected by non-Darcy or 'turbulent' flow through the compacted zone around each perforation. The turbulence coefficient depends on the permeability of this compacted zone. This permeability, a function of the perforation condition, can be used with perforation dimensions to predict gas well performance. An approach is presented for the problem of turbulent flow in perforated wells that are not gravel-packed. It can be used to analyze producing gas wells, or it can be combined with flowing well analysis to calculate the perforations needed to complete a gas well in a consolidated or competent formation. 13 refs.
