1. Explain the concept of Nodal Analysis. 2. List 4 segments in the reservoir/well system where pressure loss occurs. 3. Define the following terms: inflow performance curve, outflow performance curve, system graph, solution node.
P1 = Pr - Pwfs P3 = Pwf - Pwh P2 = Pwfs - Pwf P3 = Pwf - Pwh P4 = Pwh - Psep PT = Pr - Psep
= Loss in reservoir = Loss across completion = Loss in tubing = Loss in flowline = Total pressure loss

Nodal Analysis
Two Main Components
Inflow Performance Curve/Relationship (IPR) Oil or Gas Flowrate vs Bottomhole Flowing Pressure Ordinate Origin = Reservoir Pressure (p = 0 Abscissa Intercept = Absolute Open Flow Potential (p = pr Outflow Curve (Tubing Intake) Function of Hydrostatic, Friction & Acceleration Components Curves Shifted by Wellhead Pressure & Artificial Lift Intercept of Curves Gives FBHP (psi) & Flowrate q = Max) q = 0)
