PETROLEUM PRODUCTION ENGINEERING

A producing well is influenced by the pressure drop during inflow and outflow of the produced fluid. In order to understand the pressure and flow rate relationship, nodal analysis method is often employed. Cosidering a vertical well system with bottomhole as the nodal points, a) Sketch the whole system of fluid inflow and outflow. b) What are 3 factors that influence the fluid inflow. c) List 3 components that govern the pressure drop along the vertical well d) In the condition of multiphase flow, what will happen to the pressure drop? Justify why
