EVALUATION OF WELL PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION
OPTIMIZATION OFA GAS FIELD
3. INTRODUCTION
Natural gas is one of the most vital energy sources of Bangladesh.
As population grows, so does the demand for energy in numerous areas.
The efficiency of such energy output does not increase in lockstep with consumption.
The overall usage of natural gas is 994.31 BCF/year and output is approximately 886.39 BCF/year.
So, there is a natural gas deficit of around 107.38 BCF each year.
In order to meet the demand , production optimization of the gas fields is very necessary.
4. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The major objective of the study are listed below:
To investigate the Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) and Vertical Lift Performance (VLP) curve.
ii. Evaluate well performance and optimization of production of the gas field.
5. LITERATURE REVIEW
Production optimization refers to the process of determining and implementing optimum values for
parameters in the production system in order to maximize hydrocarbon production rate.
For optimization purposes IPR and VLP curve will be generated to find out the optimum flow rate by
considering various sensitivity parameters.
The optimization process will be done using IPM software.

8. CONCLUDING REMARKS
This study focused on the optimization process by changing the multiple sensitivity
parameters to provide more accurate model of the flow capacity of the reservoir.
By accurately modeling the reservoir the future production rate can be determined and
the pressure drop that require for the optimized flow rate can also be determined
The detailed study with results and discussions will present in PME 402 course.
