Using THP correlations to create deck sections
- Specify well path from upstream workflow.
- Defaults provided for all fields.
- THP table creation is computationally intensive. Care should be taken when specifying increments for long well paths.
You can use tubing head pressure or lift table correlations to create deck sections.
Three types of THP tables can be produced: Oil Producer, Gas Producer and Injector. You specify in Table Type which type of table to produce. The parameters will be different depending on which table type you have selected.
When the table type is set to Oil Producer, the generated lift table is 4-dimensional with flow rate, THP, GOR or GLR and WCUT as dimensions. The rate may be either a liquid rate or an oil rate depending on whether QLIQ or QOIL is specified for Rate Type. The Ratio Type entry determines whether a gas/oil ratio or gas liquid ratio is used depending on whether GOR or GLR is selected.
When the table type is set to Gas Producer, the generated lift table is 4-dimensional with flow rate, THP, LGR and WCUT as dimensions.
When the table type is set to Injector, the lift generated table is 3-dimensional with flow rate, THP, and gas fraction (FG) as dimensions.
In each case, the lift table is generated using the Beggs and Brill correlation with the Payne correction. A description of this correlation can be found in Multiphase Flow in Wells (Brill and Mukherjee, SPE Monograph Volume 20, 1999, Society of Petroleum Engineers, Richardson, Texas).
