Question: ( 3 0 points ) Consider a 1 0 , 0 0 0 f t deep well that is to produce 5 0 0 stb

(30 points) Consider a 10,000ft deep well that is to produce 500 stb/d with gradient curves given in Figure 1. The natural GLR is 200 scf/stb, the average reservoir pressure is 3750 psi, and the IPR for the well is
q=0.25((?bar(p))-pwf)
Pressure drop across the gas lift valve is 100 psi. If the gas is to be injected at 8,000ft :
a. What is the GLR in the tubing above the injection point?
b. What is psurf??
c. What is qg?
Suppose the maximum possible surface pressure was limited to 100 psi less than the value calculated in part b. In order to produce the same liquid rate with this lower gas pressure, assuming the pressure gradient in the tubing below the gas injection point is 0.33ft(use this number and not what you have calculated or determined above):
d. What is Hinj?
e. What is GLR in the tubing above the injection point?
f. What is pinj?
g. What is qg?
