Synopsis

No other book on the market offers such a turnkey solution to the problem of liquid interference in gas wells. Gas Well Deliquification contains not only descriptions of the various methods of de-watering gas wells, but also compares the various methods with a view toward explaining the suitability of each under particular circumstances. The material is presented as practical information that can be immediately applied, rather than a theoretical treatment. And, includes useful historical methods, but focuses on the latest techniques for de-watering gas wells.

About this title

Review

"...the only book in the market that offers a turnkey solution to the problem of liquid interference in gas wells.It is a useful book for every engineer, scientist, and researcher who has ever faced the challenge of investigating gas well production and optimization. I will recommend that if you work in the artificial lift, gas field and well optimization area, you have this practical reference available."

Gas Well Deliquification by Professor James F. Lea, et al., introduces the subject of liquid loading problems and discusses how to distinguish them from other possible well problems. The book covers the methods of solving the problems, how to apply the various solutions, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. It describes various methods of dewatering gas wells, comparing them and explaining the suitability of each under particular circumstances. The material is presented as practical information that can be immediately applied, rather than simply theory. Useful historical methods are discribed, but the focus is on the latest techniques. Solutions range from simple application of smaller ID tubing to complex artificial-lift methods.-World Oil, February 2007
