Using the THP table

When the table type is set to oil producer, the lift table generated is four 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 lift table generated is 4 dimensional with flow rate, THP, LGR and WCUT as dimensions.

When the table type is set to injector, the lift table generated is 3 dimensional with flow rate, THP, and gas fraction (FG) as dimensions.

In each case the lift table created is generated using the Beggs and Brill correlation using 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).

Tips for using the THP correlations:

• 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.
