The aim of this study is to use the field data in the Niger Delta gas reservoir to find an effective sand control method for high rate gas wells in the region.
In this research, the reservoir pressures were recorded for each well and the wells were flowed at a minimum of four different flowrates to estimate other relevant data. The bottomhole flowing pressures were taken through a computer program & correlation.
Gas well deliverability test is used as a model, which relates the Gas flowrate ratio (Y) to pseudo-pressure ratio (X) for the respective wells. For each approach a graph is plotted based on gas flowrate ratio (Y) and pseudo-pressure ratio (X) data generated.
For accuracy in the work, field data were taken for four individual days in a time span of four months. Parameters used in this research are k, µg, Pwf, Pr, Ƶ and S.
From my observation in the plot, ESS line tends to increase as the gas is being produced while the EGP line with time decline gradually as gas is produced, hence; ESS provides larger inflow area with less friction during gas production thereby enhancing the well productivity.
