A specific study in Petroleum Production with a focus on finding the bottlenecks (restriction of the current production) by tracking the whole fluid path from hydrocarbon deposit all the way to the Commercial Metering Station.
The typical Nodal Analysis workflow is given as:
| Reserves Structure | Production Chain | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Reserves Distribution | Reserves Dynamics | Well-reservoir contact | Pipeline Flow Performance | |||
| Reservoir Distribution | Fluid Saturation | Reserves Energy | Reserves Velocity | |||
