from back cover

"This book explores engineering operations and tasks involved with analyzing the production behavior of oil and gas wells. Offering a wealth of practical guidelines, readers will understand: The affect of well size, reservoir data, and operating conditions on the production rate Hydraulic design of wells and how to analyze their performance using numerical methods Methods for establishing the productivity of wells using test data in ways to predict productivity changes that occur due to stimulation treatment or reservoir depletion The utilization of well performance design In assessing the mechanical status of the well and the development planning of large oil fields And the application of artificial lift methods The book offers readers numerous examples demonstrating how each procedure can be applied to their practical analysis chores".
