Gas Well Deliquification

Description

Deliquification of a low-pressure gas well requires an unique approach, tools, and staffing than artificially lifting an oil well. Deliquification problems are challenging. The energy available to lift reservoir fluids at low pressure requires the well operator to have the knowledge and understanding that a few pounds of pressure drop could make a difference in the success of the whole operation. Use of pumps to move fluids has a wide variety of applications. In the manufacturing sector, pumps consume about 27% of all electricity moving product, transferring heat and producing useful power in hydraulic systems. In the buildings sector, pumps move water throughout buildings for heating and cooling, and between chillers and cooling towers, and are commonly used. Careful analysis can improve the energy efficiency of most pump systems. A hydraulic pump operates similarly to a gas lift system, with high pressure power fluid used as the energy source in place of high pressure gas. There are two different types of hydraulic pumps: piston and jet. This book is useful to cater to the requirements of teachers, researchers and students.
