Well Production System Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis Example by Means of the Program Prosper

A production system analysis was made for the well equipped with a continuous gas lift. The analysis was based on the test data which served as the foundation for creating a production well model in computer program 'PROSPER'. The importance of the measured data in well modeling is accuracy and reliability in predicting future developments of the production system. The model design can be divided in six steps among which the most important are: calculation of the IPR curve, calculation of the gas lift system and matching of VLP and IPR curves based on the well testing. The aim of the VLP/IPR matching is to choose an appropriate method for calculating the pressure drop gradient by applying the nonlinear regression method, which results in the system working point adjusted to the measured data. This model was applied in sensitivity analysis of the well, in which three key variables are selected to predict their effect on future system changes, primarily on changes of the production and bottom dynamic pressure.
