    The document discusses determining the optimal tubing diameter for gas wells producing between 1,000 and 100,000 thousand cubic feet per day (Mscf/d) of gas. It analyzes tubing diameter options using a pressure traverse chart calculator based on the given production rates. For production rates of 100,000 Mscf/d or less, it recommends a 7-inch tubing for its ability to maintain reservoir pressure below 5,000 psi. Smaller diameters risk high pressure drop while larger diameters could cause instability. Proper tubing diameter selection allows for better well control and maximum production.

    Discussions
    Recommended tubing diameter for the above gas production rate is analyzed using a reservoir
    pressure below 5000 psi from the chart with various tubing diameters.
    For chart 1A, when the gas well production rate is at 100,000 Mscf/d, the optimum
    recommended tubing diameter for this production is OD 7-inch 26 lb/ft (ID: 6.276 inch) as it is
    below 5000 psi reservoir pressure.
    For chart 1B, when the gas well production rate is at 50000 Mscf/d, the optimum recommended
    tubing diameter for the production is OD 7-inch 26 lb/ft (ID: 6.276 inch).
    For chart 1C, when the gas well production rate is at 30000 Mscf/d, the recommended tubing
    diameter for the production is OD 7-inch 26 lb/ft (ID: 6.276 inch) and 3.5-inch 12.7 lb/ft (ID:
    2.75 inch), but for the optimum, the less pressure drop is better and take into considerations. For
    the optimum, the OD 7-inch 26 lb/ft (ID: 6.276 inch) is recommended.
    For chart 1D, when the gas well production rate is at 20000 Mscf/d, the recommended tubing
    diameter for the production is taking pressure drop into consideration is OD 7-inch 26 lb/ft (ID:
    6.276 inch).
    For chart 1E, when the gas well production rate is at 10000 Mscf/d, the recommended tubing
    diameter for the production is OD 7-inch 26 lb/ft (ID: 6.276 inch).
    For chart 1F, when the gas well production rate is at 1000 Mscf/d, the recommended tubing
    diameter for the production is OD 7-inch 26 lb/ft (ID: 6.276 inch).

    Conclusion
    Designing and installation of tubing is important in a well completion because to enable the
    fluids to flow efficiently. A small diameter of tubing causes large friction and limits the
    production of a well whereas tubing that is to large in diameter may cause heading and also
    unstable flow in a well. Hence, the correct use of tubing diameter permits better well control and
    enhanced production rate.
