Add to basketNodal Analysis of Oil and Gas Production Systems provides a modern view on the use of nodal analysis techniques to optimize the production from oil and gas wells. It covers multiphase flow through flow lines, wells, chokes and the near-well reservoir. It teaches the development of mathematical models for those system elements, and how to implement these in computer code. It explains the underlying physics, starting from first principles whenever possible, and reverting to empirical correlations whenever necessary. It covers the essential concepts in nodal analysis of a well system and aims at providing the readers with enough knowledge to use commercial nodal analysis software for more complex systems, explore the literature in this field, and expand their knowledge.
This book is based on material used in a three-month course for first-year graduate students in the Petroleum Engineering MSc program at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). This course aims at providing skills in the development and use of mathematical and computer models for flow through the various parts of an oil and gas production system. The underlying idea is that a basic understanding of the numerical implementation of theoretical concepts should be an important element in the education of all engineering students, even though only a few of them will become tool developers and most of them will just use software tools whose inner workings are hidden behind slick user interfaces. Although the book is primarily intended for classroom use, it may also be of value for practicing engineers or researchers who want to get acquainted with the essentials of nodal analysis or learn more about the underlying theory.* Prerequisites are a basic understanding of physical transport phenomena; calculus, including first-order differential equations; and preferably an acquaintance with hydrocarbon properties and oil and gas well completions.
Questions and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. Some of those involve computations that can be performed by hand with a calculator, while others require the use of a computer to run the matlab routines that accompany the book. matlab questions and assignments form an important ingredient of the course, and a basic level in computer programming will therefore be of help to benefit maximally from the book. Hand
calculations are primarily seen as a means to obtain quick order-of-magnitude estimates or to verify the results of computer simulations. However, the theory is presented in the book to be understandable without the reader going through the matlab exercises. Worked-out answers to all questions are provided in Appendix G. An early version of this book was based on material written by prof. Peter K. Currie. Since I took over his course in 2001, the text has gradually been rewritten and expanded. During Spring 2011 I revised major parts while teaching a similar course at Stanford University.
Very little of the theory described in the text is new, and I acknowledge the contributions of all those who have pioneered the field of nodal analysis and the underlying models for the various production system elements. I have tried to refer to the original sources as far as I am aware of them. Moreover, I acknowledge the contribution of many students and teaching assistants at TU Delft and Stanford who helped to spot errors, inconsistencies, or material that was unclear, both in the text and in the accompanying matlab code. No doubt there is still room for further improvement. If you find errors, note missing references, or have other comments, please let me know at j.d.jansen@tudelft.nl.

Statutory Right to cancel
You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, GreatBookPrices, 6310 Stevens Forest Rd, Suite 200, 21046, Columbia, Maryland, U.S.A., 1 410-964-0026, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Effects of cancellation
If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or GreatBookPrices, 902B Paramount Pkwy, Ref: [transaction or order number], 60510, Batavia, Illinois, U.S.A., 1 410-964-0026, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
