liquid loading

This paper describes a data-driven approach for liquid-loading detection and prediction that harnesses high-frequency gas-rate and tubinghead-pressure measurements to identify the onset of liquid loading and correct critical rates computed by empirical methods.

This work presents an integrated multiphase flow model for downhole pressure predictions that produces relatively more-accurate downhole pressure predictions under wide flowing conditions while maintaining a simple form.

This paper describes treatment of deep gas wells experiencing halite deposition by installation of a velocity string that creates synergy between gas-well deliquefication and halite management.

This paper describes a new intelligent dosing technology to reduce liquid loading in an unconventional tight gas reservoir.

The complete paper describes an experimental study performed to investigate the onset of liquid loading in a 6-in. production casing at various inclination angles.

To predict liquid-loading tendencies and to identify opportunities for production enhancement, the performance of 150 gas wells was analyzed in two gas fields in India.

An experimental study was conducted by use of a 6-in.-inner-diameter facility to analyze three-phase stratified wavy flow in horizontal pipelines.

Liquid loading is a common production problem in mature gas wells. Correct prediction of the critical gas velocity at which the well starts to load is very important for taking action to prevent premature loss of production.

Onshore gas developments are often characterized by drilling, fracturing, and production of wells before low-pressure gas-gathering systems are in place. As well production declines, liquid-loading issues begin to appear. Use of a twin-screw pump to boost deliquefication was investigated.
