The gas-liquid ratio is the ratio of gas volume to liquid volume at the same temperature and pressure, and characterizes reservoir behavior. The optimum gas-liquid ratio depends on the reservoir fluids and liquid flow rate, and can be determined from gradient curves or computer programs using multiphase correlations to model pressure drop and friction factors, allowing optimization of production from gas reservoirs connected to water sources.

_ Zied Musbah Zied , 1741059. Defintion : The gas-liquid ratio is the ratio of a volume of gas divided by a volume of liquid at the same temperature and pressure. The gas-liquid ratio, or GLR, is useful for characterizing the behavior of a reservoir. The choice of GLR depends on the fluids in the reservoir , is a sensitive indicator of the behavior of a gas reservoir connected to a water source, such as an aquifer or injected water , The optimum GLR is liquid flow rate dependent and can be found from traditional gradient curves such as those generated by Gilbert (1954). Similar curves can be generated with modern computer programs using various multiphase correlations. The computer program OptimumGLR.xls in the CD attached to this book was developed based on modified Hagedorn and Brown method (Brown, 1977) for multiphase flow calculations and the Chen method (1979) for friction factor determination. Calculation of optimum GLR :
