This paper discusses and provides a number of routines codified in practical spreadsheets that production engineers and operating personnel will be able to use to do calculations helpful for visualizing, analyzing and evaluating common production problems/scenarios. Using these spreadsheets will save time and increase the user’s effectiveness in handling various production challenges and Artificial Lift situations. Spreadsheets that will be included are as follow:
• Gas lift Performance for Oil Wells
• IPRs for Oil Wells: PI/Vogel & Back Pressure
• SRP Pump Efficiency with Gas Separator Performance
• Rod Loading: New and Old Goodman
• Gas Well Multiphase Flow Gradients and Critical Flow Calculated
• Gas Assist Plunger Design
• Visualize Pump Dynamometers: Gas and PIP
• Down Hole SRP Pump Clearance
• Oil Well Tubing Performance: Inject at any Point in Tubing
• SRP Pump Spacing
• Calculate Gas Z Factor
• Analyze Gas lift P & T Surveys
• Plunger with Time with Declining IPRs
• Present Value Profit ()of Staged AL with Declining Production
• Limitations for Drawdown for Pumps
• ESP Gas Separator Performance: Drawdown Possible
• Gas Well gas lift Performance
• And others
