Turner criterion

Turner criterion

(OP)
Does anyone have a spreadsheet that uses the Turner criterion to calculate minimum gas flow rate for lifting water?

Thanks.

RE: Turner criterion

Yes, I've put that arithmetic into a spreadsheet (also into a VB.Net program and a MathCad file).  Will I share it?  No.  Was it hard to create?  No.

You need to go to www.spe.org and go to their e-library.  Search for R.G. Turner (I think his JPT article was 1967 or so).  Print the document, READ IT, understand the limitations of the calculations, then spend 15 minutes building a spreadsheet.  Any other approach is just asking to apply the calculations in a pressure/temperature region that is not appropriate.

Ive read the paper and done the calculations by hand more than a few times.  

Thanks, I'll spend the time and write my own spreadsheet or C# program.
