A NODAL APPROACH FOR APPLYING SYSTEMS ANALYSIS TO THE FLOWING AND ARTIFICIAL LIFT OIL OR GAS WELL by Joe Eduardo Proano ~~rmit E, Ezown
A
nodal and new approach is presented for applying systems analysis to the complete well system from the outer boundary of the reservoiz to the sand face, across the perforations and completion section to the tubing intake, up the ~~bing string including any restrictions and down hole safety valves, the surface . choke, the flow line and separator.

This paper will discuss the manner in which to interrelate the various pressure losses. In particular, the ability of the well to produce fluids willbe interfaced with the ability of the piping system to take these fluids.

Figure 3 has been prepared showing locations of the various nodes. This figure is the same as Figure 2 except only the node positions are shown. The node is classified as a functional node when a pressure differential exists across it and the pressure or flow or phys, rate response can be represented by some mathematical -, ical function. Node 1 represents the separator pressure which is usually regulated at a constant value. There are two pressures that are not a function of flow rate. They are F= at Node 8 and PSEP at Node 1.
For this reason, any trial and error solution to the total system
problem must be started at Node 1 (P SEP), Node 8 (~r), or both Node 1 and 8 if an intermediate node such as 3 or 6 is selected as the solution node. Once the solution node is selected, the pressure drops or gains from the starting point are added until the solution node is reached. Example problems are worked to show the nodal system approach. For example, the flow rate possible can be determined by utilizing Node 8 (~r), Node 6 (Pwf), Node 3

This includes flow through the porous medium, flow across the perforations and completion, flow up the tubing string with passage through a possib2e down-hole restriction and safety valve, flow in the horizontal flow line with passage through a surface choke and on to the separator. .

It is important to notice that when starting at the reservoir (node 8), the slope of the resuIting system curve on the pressure-flow rate diagram at the solution node is zero or negative, can be observed clearly in Figures5 through 8. his
starting at ~r (regardless of the solution node) i ncfudes reservoir performance in the form of PI ~r IPR. ,. A pressure-flow rate curve generated by starting at F actually displays the required pressure at the solutl on node for the reservoir to produce the stated flow rate. For example, the vertical and IPR
curve shown on Fig. 7 shows that if a flowing we I lhead pressure of 100 psi cou Id somehow be created, the reservoir and wel I would produce 1100 B/D. .

Introduction Thus far the discussion has pertained to the rather simple system shewn in Fig. 4.
Notice on this system there is only one flow line size and one tubing size.
Of course it is possible
and sometimes advantageous to change one of these pipe sizes in the middle of the string ~ To evaluate a system of this nature, the solutlon node could be placed at the point where the p!pe size changes. 1.32 Example Problem #5 - Tapered Tubing Strings 5uppcxe in the previous example that for some reason it was necess~ry to set o liner from near 3S00 through the producing zone at 5000 and this liner was of such ID that 2-3/8 was the largest size tubing that cou Id be installed. increases by insta I Iing larger than 2-3/8 to Figure 10. Given Data: Same as Example 1. tubing
The solution node (node 5) selected to solve this probienl is located at the tubing taper (Fig. 10). In this example the pressure drops must be added from node 1 to ncxk 5 and In keeping with the same nomenclature as Fig. 3, we have
designated the tapered connection as node 5. Procedure: 1. 2. Assume flow rates of 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 1500 B/D. Determine the pressure loss from node 1 (seprator) to node 5 (taper connection).
For each assumed rate and starting with PSEP= 100 psi we add AP3-, +AP5-3. Table 1.26 summarizes these results, and both 2-7/8 above the taper connection. and 3 tubing are evaluated

this problem could have been solved by placing the solution node at any point in the system. However, this approach can simplify the procedure depending on the manner in which the curves or computer programs avai fable are formated. This same procedure cou Id be used if a change in flow line con-

NODE
In the previous discussion it has been assumed that no pressure discontinuity exists across the so!ution node. However, in a total producing system there is usually at least one point or When a pressure differential exists across a node, that node
is termed a functional node since the pressure flow rate response can be represented by some physical or mathematical function. functional nodes. Of course there are many other surface or downhole tools or completion methods which cou Id create pressure drops with flow rate as those shown in Figure 3. wi I I be limited to the surface we!

are many equations avai lab Ie in the litemture to describe these pressure drops for common system restrictions. It is not the purpose of the paper to discuss the merit of the different equations but
rather to show how to use them once the selection has been made, conside;i ng the entire producing system.

Surface Wellhead Choke Refer to Figure 12 for a physical description of the wel with a surface choke installed.
, The same nodes as set out in Figure 3 are maintained. Since the wel !head choke is usuaI Iy placed at node 2, this wi 1I be the solution node selected to solve the problem. It is necessary to solve this problem in two parts. The first part of
the solution is exactly the same as previously shown in Example 3. previous examples the resuIts of this analysis are shovn in Fig. 7.
For the given data used in the Inspection of Figures 12 and 7 show
that the vertica I and IPR performance curve actuul Iy represents the upstream pressure from node 2 (Pwh, Fig. 7) and the horizontal system performance curve actua I Iy represents the downstream pressure from node 2 ((PD5C, Fig. 7). Thus far, we have considered no pressure drop across the node

Summary and Conclusions A new Cnodal) system has been presented in order to effectively
evaluate a complete producing system. All of the components in the well, starting from the static pressure (~r) and ending at the separator, are considered. This includes flow through ~he porous medium, flow across the perforations and completion, flow up the tubi~g string with passage through a possible down-hole restrict-on and safety valve, flow in the horizontal flow line with passage through a surface choke and on to the separator. Various positions and/or components are selected as nodes and the pressure losses are converged on that point from both directions. Nodes can be effectively selected to better show the effect of inflow ability, perforations, restrictions, Safety valves, surface chokes, tubing strings, flowlines and separator pressures. The appropriate multiphase flow correlations and equations for restrictions, chokes, etc. must be incorporated in the solution. In conclusion, an effective means of analyzing an existing well, making recommended changes or planning properly for a ne=wwell can be accomplished by the nodal systems analysis. This procedure offers a means to more economically optimize producing wells.
