Thanks.
I am comfortable that in an annulus the hydrostatic head portion of the calculation is OK. The problem is the friction loss caused by the flow rate. I can also handle that using the normal calculations, but all I have is the adjustment using the ID. to the power of 2.667 in round...
I'm bored so I'll give you my experience.
1) Beam pumps are effective for shallow depths, straight holes and fluid rates of less than 500 bfpd.Above 500 bfpd rod wear, tubing wear and pump replacement will eat you alive.
2) Positive displacement pumps(KUDU/Moyno) are effective for high volumes...
Does anybody have an know how to calculate BHFP from surface conditions in the annulus of a gas well. I'm using the effective diameter based upon the crosssectional area of the annulus to determine the friction loss for the calculation. Is this valid or is there another adjustment that needs to...
I've been out of country problem is probably solved, but realistically 200 mcfd being forced through a sucker rod pump is a lot in my experience and is probably gas locking. I have more questions than answers. How much fluid is it moving versus actual design? If you need to move over 500 bfpd...
