• Analysis
- As a rule of thumb, inject about ½ the
gas needed to obtain the maximum
liquid rate.
- With the 200 GLR from the reservoir,
the well produces about 300 b/day, but
with about 400 more GLR added (600
total) the well produces 1000 b/day.

• Analysis (continued)
- With 600 GLR injected, there is not
much increase in production.
- Let’s say, for this example, we have
done the economics and that the 400
scf/bbl is the gas injection rate that we
will use.
- Note if this was a new well, we could do
Nodal sensitivity on tubing diameter,
gas injection pressure, etc..
