Summary This paper presents practical techniques that can be used to monitor gas-well performance. These techniques, along with the routine examination of performance data, can help the engineer maintain production potential and extend well life. This paper demonstrates the importance of monitoring well performance on a regular basis through case history examples. Four types of well conditions are described: (1) deterioration in performance over time, (2) drainage area change, (3) liquid loading, and (4) tubing design constraint. This paper also discusses the use of a personal computer program as a tool to facilitate and encourage gas-well performance monitoring.
