GasWell Optimization

GasWell is an easy to use package used for

optimizing the performance of a gas well.
Sandface inflow, tubing performance and
wellhead conditions are used to maximize
production. With this package the user can
investigate the flow improvement after
stimulation, increasing the wellbore, and
lowering wellhead pressure. Up to six different
wellbore sizes can be investigated in one run.
