Gas Well Deliquification
As gas wells deplete, falling tubing velocity allows liquids to build up, adding back pressure and eventually choking off flow. This course shows how to tell liquid loading apart from other well problems and then reviews the range of methods for removing liquids. For each method it covers application, installation, troubleshooting, economics and relative advantages.
