This paper focusses on the use of Newton Raphson iteration in determining gas compressibility factor (z) while performing tubing system performance for dry gas wells through the development of a computer model (TBG_SPARK). However, tubing performance analysis performed on the case study (Well-A and Well-B) revealed that the production system of Well-B performed better – since its tubing size and wellhead pressure was lower than that of Well-A. Also, investigations made using modified data revealed that, lower tubing sizes and higher wellhead pressures yield higher gas rates. Conversely, reverse was the case when wellhead pressures were not varied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
