Analytical Formulation

If there are 2 wells, quadratic GLPC shown below

= =

1 1 = 1 12 + 1 1 + 1 (2)
2 2 = 2 22 + 2 2 + 2 (3)

And total gas rate to be injected to 2 wells is written as:

2 = 1 + 2 (4)

Analytical Formulation (contd)

12 = 1 + 2 = 1 , 2 Quadratic Polynomial

Subs with Eq. (4) 2 = 1 + 2

12 = 2 , 2 Quadratic Polynomial

Analytical Formulation (contd)

In constant 2 condition, taking zero first derivative of 12 to obtain optimum

2 then finally obtain maximum total oil production in certain total gas
injection rate
12 = 2 , 2 Quadratic Polynomial

2 = 2 Subs 12 = 2 , 2
Optimum Gas Injection Rate
to 2nd well
12 = 2

1 = No Graphical Method
No iteration
One way calculation

with limitation that GLPC is quadratic polynomial, where Always converge

No long time consuming
= the number of gas lift wells
Easy to construct in simple
, = constants of quadratic GLPC coding
= total gas rate to be injected to n wells Can be applied for field
= gas lift allocation for well with lots of gas lift wells
