| Summary: | Now throughly revised and updated, this work covers every aspect of operating and maintaining oil wells in order to optimize profits on each and every well. Analytical in its approach but practical in its application, it takes the guesswork out of successful oil well production. For this second edition, important new material has been added on gas anchors, pressure-rate-depth grids, stability of flow, optimum pump-setting depth, the inflow performance relationship, and computer diagnosis of dynamometer cards. Of particular interest is the discussion of production by liquid slugs in the material on optimum cycle frequency and the graphical display of the analytic results. In this edition greater emphasis has been placed on the well as part of a system -- the formation, the well itself, and the gathering facilities -- in order to ensure that hte behavior of each of tehse elements is completely compatible with that of the others. The book shows how to make a continuous review of operating data from each well, not only to ensure optimal production rates frm the well but to identify unexpected behavior that can pave the way for future developments. |
