Solving the water loading problem in In Saleh gas Field

Abstract

Liquid loading, a significant issue in the Tegentour zone of the In Saleh Gas Field, was addressed in this study. Two wells were examined using well production data, well test data, logging, and pressure surveys to identify symptoms of liquid loading. The proposed solutions included implementing a velocity string and conducting a water shut-off installation. The optimal configuration of the velocity string was determined through simulation using Wellflo software. The results of implementing both technologies were thoroughly discussed and analyzed, providing valuable insights into mitigating liquid loading.
