Production optimization in well-6 of Habiganj gas field, Bangladesh: a prospective application of Nodal analysis approach
Abstract The overall performance of gas reservoirs and the optimization of production, as well as its sensitivity analysis, are affected by several factors such as reservoir pressure, well configuration and surface facilities. The Habiganj well no. 06 (HBJ-06) is one of the significant gas-producing...

Abstract The overall performance of gas reservoirs and the optimization of production, as well as its sensitivity analysis, are affected by several factors such as reservoir pressure, well configuration and surface facilities. The Habiganj well no. 06 (HBJ-06) is one of the significant gas-producing vertical wells of the Habiganj gas field, currently producing 14.963 MMscfd of natural gas from the upper gas sand. The widely used Nodal analysis is an optimization technique to improve the performance and was applied for the HBJ-06 to increase its production rate by optimizing manners. By this analysis, each component starting from the reservoir to the outlet pressure of the separator was identified as a resistance in the system by evaluating their inflow performance relationship and vertical lift performance. The F.A.S.T. VirtuWell™ software package was used to perform this analysis, where the declinations of wellhead pressures were suggested as 1300, 1200, 1100 and 1000 psi(a) without any modification of the tubing diameter and skin factor. Hence, the respective optimized rates of the daily gas production were increased to 38.481, 40.993, 43.153 and 46.016 MMscfd.
