Assumptions
Below 𝑋1 , the well is assumed to be vertical
Depth
Reference At 𝑋1 , the pressure is 𝑃1 and below 𝑋1 the
𝑋1
point frictional pressure loss is neglected
Water column
𝑋3 Water injection All water co-produced with the gas (with constant
point water gas ratio) will form back to form the water
column.
