This paper discusses and provides a number of routines codified in practical spreadsheets that production engineers and operating personnel will be able to use to do calculations helpful for visualizing, analyzing and evaluating common production problems/scenarios. Using these spreadsheets will save time and increase the user’s effectiveness in handling various production challenges and Artificial Lift situations. Spreadsheets that will be included are as follow: • Gas lift Performance for Oil Wells • IPRs for Oil Wells: PI/Vogel & Back Pressure • SRP Pump Efficiency with Gas Separator Performance • Rod Loading: New and Old Goodman • Gas Well Multiphase Flow Gradients and Critical Flow Calculated • Gas Assist Plunger Design • Visualize Pump Dynamometers: Gas and PIP • Down Hole SRP Pump Clearance • Oil Well Tubing Performance: Inject at any Point in Tubing • SRP Pump Spacing • Calculate Gas Z Factor • Analyze Gas lift P & T Surveys • Plunger with Time with Declining IPRs • Present Value Profit ()of Staged AL with Declining Production • Limitations for Drawdown for Pumps • ESP Gas Separator Performance: Drawdown Possible • Gas Well gas lift Performance • And others
