Chapter 4 Well Performance

This document outlines the contents of a petroleum production engineering course. Chapter 4 focuses on wellbore performance and flow regimes in oil and gas wells. It discusses how the achievable production rate from a well is determined by wellhead pressure and the flow performance of the production string. Understanding wellbore flow performance is important for designing well equipment and optimizing production conditions, as oil can be produced through tubing or casing depending on which provides better performance.

However, the achievable oil production rate from
a well is determined by wellhead pressure and the
flow performance of production string, that is,
tubing, casing, or both. The flow performance of
production string depends on geometries of the
production string and properties of fluids being
produced. The fluids in oil wells include oil,
water, gas, and sand. Wellbore performance
analysis involves establishing a relationship
between tubular size, wellhead and bottom-hole
pressure, fluid properties, and fluid production
rate
Well Performance
• . Understanding wellbore flow
performance is vitally important to
production engineers for designing oil
well equipment and optimizing well
production conditions. Oil can be
produced through tubing, casing, or both
in an oil well depending on which flow
path has better performance. Producing
oil through tubing is a better option in
most cases to take the advantage of gas-
