    The key takeaways are the basic concepts of inflow performance relationship (IPR), vertical flow performance (VFP), nodal analysis, and maximum economic rate (MER).

    The main topics covered in the course include basic concepts about IPR, VFP, nodal analysis, MER, diffusivity equation, gas/oil well performance, pressure drop, and fluid flow types.

    The main components of the production system are the wellbore and associated equipment, wellhead, flowlines, processing equipment, and metering.

    ➢ Reservoir flow comes from reservoir to surface then passes flow


    lines, enters to processing system and gets ready to export
    ➢ During this destination, fluid pressure changes from reservoir
    condition to surface condition
    ➢ The purpose of this course is investigation of fluid from reservoir to
    well head
    ➢ Knowing inflow performance relationship as wells as vertical flow
    performance help us to control the production and lead it to the
    Wellbore and most optimum state

    System Analysis
    System Analysis is based on concept of “ Continuity”

    Any change in the system, will be an associated change in


    pressure / production rate at same point

    This continuity of Production and pressure, can be used to


    estimate producing condition for the system
