volumes for transportation
• Evaluate Gas well deliverability by applying Gas Well
Testing Methods ( Gas reservoir Performance )
• Determine Flowing Bottom Hole Pressure(FBHP)and
Static Bottom Hole Pressure(SBHP)
• Calculate Gas reserves by using different Equations
• Understand and Evaluate Gas Processing

NATURAL GAS
Definition:
Natural Gas is considered to be a naturally
occurring mixture of
hydrocarbons
[C1 , C2 , C3 , C4 , C5 , C6,…]
and
non-hydrocarbons
[H2S, CO2, N2, H2O, etc.]
