Course Descriptions

Nodal Analysis for Oil and Gas Wells using PERFORM
  • Length: 2 days, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm

  • Summary: This software workflow course provides a comprehensive methodology for understanding the Nodal Analysis model within PERFORM and optimizing well production. Students will learn multiphase calculations, their limitations and applications, and how to determine pressure profiles that are complicated by changing phase behavior. Students begin the course by familiarizing themselves with the main features of PERFORM and are shown various aspects of the software in more depth. To gain hands-on experience, students are encouraged to follow along with examples. The examples allow students to become familiar with wellbore modelling and to recognize opportunities for wellbore optimization. Basic nodal analysis theory will be explained as needed. Participants will learn:
    • How to use IPR models
    • Gas lift system design and optimization
    • How to calibrate models with production data
    • Oil and gas well production optimization
    • Gas well loading prediction and unloading solutions
  • Prerequisites: Students should have an understanding of basic engineering principles including: well attributes, production data, pressure data, fluid and reservoir properties. Basic Windows navigation and spreadsheet skills are also recommended.

  • Topics:
    • Nodal Analysis
    • Inflow Performance Relationship
    • Tubing Performance Relationship and Multiphase Flow Analysis
    • Tubing performance curves; tubing selection
    • Fluid Properties
    • Artificial Lift Design and Optimization
    • Flow Assurance
    • Common Production Problems
    • Multi-Layer/Lateral downhole network modelling
    • Wellbore model calibration based on production data
    • Using the analytical toolbox to assist the well modelling workflow
  • This course is available to in-house groups on request. Please contact us for more information.
