WellFlo® 2011 Software

WellFlo systems analysis software is a powerful and simple-to-use application to design, model, optimize and troubleshoot individual oil and gas wells, whether naturally flowing or artificially lifted. The accurate and rigorous well models built using WellFlo software display the behavior of reservoir inflow, well tubing and surface pipeline flow for any reservoir fluid. Specific applications for which the software can be used include:

  • Well configuration and completion design for maximum performance over the life of well
  • Artificial-lift design and analysis for gas lift, ESP, PCP, jet pump and plunger lift
  • Prediction of flowing temperatures and pressures in wells and flowlines and at surface equipment for optimum design calculations
  • Reservoir, well and flowline monitoring
  • Generate vertical-lift performance curves for use in reservoir simulators

What’s new for version 2011?

  • Jet-pump design and analysis
  • Plunger-lift design and analysis
  • Equation of State (EoS) based compositional pressure-volume-temperature (PVT)
  • Enhanced black-oil PVT correlation tuning functionality
  • Enhancements in ESP module
  • Enhancements in critical unloading velocity calculations
