Decline curve analysis of well no KTL-04 from the Kailashtila gas field in northeastern Bangladesh has been examined to identify their natural gas production optimization. KTL-04 is one of the major gas producing well of Kailashtila gas field which producing 16.00 mmscfd. Conventional gas production methods depend on enormous computational efforts since production systems from reservoir to a gathering point. The overall performance of a gas production system is determined by flow rate which is involved with system or wellbore components, reservoir pressure, separator pressure and wellhead pressure. Nodal analysis technique is used to performed gas production optimization of the overall performance of the production system. F.A.S.T. Virtu Well™ analysis suggested that declining reservoir pressure 3346.8, 3299.5, 3285.6 and 3269.3 psi(a) while signifying wellhead pressure with no changing of tubing diameter and skin factor thus daily gas production capacity is optimized to 19.637, 24.198, 25.469, and 26.922 mmscfd, respectively.Bangladesh J.

 This paper presents a model-based optimization solution suitable for short-term production optimization of large gas fields with wells producing into a common surface network into a shared gas treatment plant. The proposed methodology is applied to a field consisting of one dry gas reservoir with a CO2 content of 7.3% and one wet gas reservoir with a CO2 content of 2.8% and initial CGR of 15 stb/MMscf. 23 wells are producing, and all gas production is processed in a common gas treatment plant where condensates and CO2 are extracted from the reservoir gas. The final sales gas must honor compositional constraints (CO2 content and heating value). The proposed solution consists of a bi-level optimization algorithm. A Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation of the optimization problem is solved, assuming some key parameters in the gas plant to be constant. Hydraulic performances of the system, approximated using SOS2 piecewise linear models, and condensates and CO2 extraction, captured using simplified models, are included in the MILP. After solving the MILP, the values of the key parameters are calculated using a full simulation model of the gas plant and the new values are substituted in the MILP input data. This iterative procedure continues until convergence is achieved. Results show that the proposed methodology can find the optimum choke openings for all wells to maximize the total gas rate while honoring numerous surface constraints. The solution runs in 30 sec. and an average of 3-4 iterations is needed to achieve convergence. It is therefore a suitable solution for short-term production optimization and daily operations.

Abstract The overall performance of gas reservoirs and the optimization of production, as well as its sensitivity analysis, are affected by several factors such as reservoir pressure, well configuration and surface facilities. The Habiganj well no. 06 (HBJ-06) is one of the significant gas-producing vertical wells of the Habiganj gas field, currently producing 14.963 MMscfd of natural gas from the upper gas sand. The widely used Nodal analysis is an optimization technique to improve the performance and was applied for the HBJ-06 to increase its production rate by optimizing manners. By this analysis, each component starting from the reservoir to the outlet pressure of the separator was identified as a resistance in the system by evaluating their inflow performance relationship and vertical lift performance. The F.A.S.T. VirtuWell™ software package was used to perform this analysis, where the declinations of wellhead pressures were suggested as 1300, 1200, 1100 and 1000 psi(a) without any modification of the tubing diameter and skin factor. Hence, the respective optimized rates of the daily gas production were increased to 38.481, 40.993, 43.153 and 46.016 MMscfd. At the same time, the optimized condensate gas ratio was calculated as 0.07, 0.06, 0.06 and 0.05, associated with the optimized condensate water ratio of 0.11, 0.10, 0.09 and 0.08, respectively.
