Abstract

Decline curve analysis of well no KTL-04 from the Kailashtila gas field in northeastern Bangladesh has been examined to identify their natural gas production optimization. KTL-04 is one of the major gas producing well of Kailashtila gas field which producing 16.00 mmscfd. Conventional gas production methods depend on enormous computational efforts since production systems from reservoir to a gathering point. The overall performance of a gas production system is determined by flow rate which is involved with system or wellbore components, reservoir pressure, separator pressure and wellhead pressure. Nodal analysis technique is used to performed gas production optimization of the overall performance of the production system. F.A.S.T. Virtu Well analysis suggested that declining reservoir pressure 3346.8, 3299.5, 3285.6 and 3269.3 psi(a) while signifying wellhead pressure with no changing of tubing diameter and skin factor thus daily gas production capacity is optimized to 19.637, 24.198, 25.469, and 26.922 mmscfd, respectively.
