DETERMINING GAS RATE DISTRIBUTION FROM TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE PROFILES IN GAS WELL

Abstract

A simple and effective method of the gas rate prediction from temperature and ressure data is discussed in this paper. Solving the inverse problem allows determination f the flow rate by matching the gas pressure and temperature distributions ith measured profiles. Results of field data treatment show good agreement ith the model prediction.
