Rapidly opening the wellhead valves on a high pressure well flowing into a low pressure collection system is a good way to ruin a well…

There are three basic problems which reduce the flow of gas from a well which has a sufficient gas pressure, porosity and permeability in the…
The production system begins at the wellhead, which should include at least one choke, unless the well is on artificial lift. Most of the pressure…
Produced wellhead fluids are complex mixtures of different compounds of hydrogen and carbon, all with different densities, vapor pressures, and other physical characteristics. As a well stream flows from the hot, high-pressure petroleum reservoir, it experiences pressure and temperature reductions. Gases evolve from the liquids and the well streamchanges in character.
