artificial-lift

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex calculations required for designing and analyzing artificial lift systems in oil and gas wells, preventing costly inefficiencies and equipment failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Liquid Loading Diagnosis: Predicts if a gas well is experiencing liquid loading using Turner and Coleman criteria.
• Rod Pump Design: Calculates pump displacement, polished rod loads, and assists in API RP 11L compliance.
• ESP Sizing: Determines Total Dynamic Head (TDH) and required motor horsepower for Electric Submersible Pumps.
• Gas Lift Design: Estimates injection pressure and minimum GLR for effective gas lift.
• Plunger Lift Analysis: Calculates minimum GLR and rise velocity for plunger lift systems.
• Use Case: A production engineer can use this skill to quickly assess if a gas well is liquid loading and, if so, determine the appropriate plunger lift parameters or recommend a change in tubing size.

Quick Start

Use the artificial-lift skill to diagnose liquid loading for a gas well with a 2.441 inch tubing ID, a critical velocity of 5 ft/s, and a current rate of 300 Mscf/d.
