The performance of downhole gas separators is simulated in software. Different production rates, different sizes of separators, different SPM and different gas bubble rise velocities are simulated to show the performance of different separators and different well conditions. This simulation software is a great aid in educating personnel in the operation, performance, selection and proper design of gas separators. Knowledge and use of this software will help operators increase pump fillage and total production and also reduce operating expenses.
