Presented at the 1998 Southwestern Petroleum Short Course.

Analyzing Well Performance 98 paper presents the concepts of well inflow performance analysis and recommends a procedure to be followed in obtaining, organizing and analyzing acoustic fluid level data. Using a strip chart recorder an oil field operator can verify that their wells are being produced at the optimum capacity, and in the most cost-effective manner. The well performance analysis is assisted by a user friendly software program, AWP98. The AWP98 software can be downloaded free of charge from the Echometer Software web page.
