Depth of Valve using Taylor Series Approximation

Estimate gas injection depth is the important factor to be known because it’s data can be used for tubing design to improve oil production. Special thanks go to Arif Pranoto (122060…), my classmate who introduced Taylor Series method to find estimate depth of valve gas injection.

Now, let see the problem. All Vogel assumption applied to this example.

At point of gas injection,

At point of balance,

We can use Cullender and Smith method to calculate surface injection pressure. Because of the large cross-sectional area of the annular space, the frictional pressure losses are often negligible. Then the average temperature and compressibility factor model degenerates to (Economides et al., 1994)

Modification of calculation

Using definition of Taylor Series,


Assume that


Has small value and negligible, thus


Back to equation point of balance,


Subtitute ....


Now, we can estimate depth of valve by this equation

Alamak, rumus-rumus yang belum pernah saya lihat seumur hidup saya.

I wish not acquiesce in on it. I regard as warm-hearted post. Particularly the title-deed attracted me to read the whole story.

"Aku wasiatkan kepada kamu untuk bertakwa kepada Allah; mendengar dan taat (kepada penguasa kaum muslimin), walaupun seorang budak Habsyi. Karena sesungguhnya, barangsiapa hidup setelahku, dia akan melihat perselishan yang banyak. Maka wajib bagi kamu berpegang kepada Sunnahku dan Sunnah para khalifah yang mendapatkan petunjuk dan lurus. Peganglah dan gigitlah dengan gigi geraham. Jauhilah semua perkara baru (dalam agama). Karena semua perkara baru (dalam agama) adalah bid’ah, dan semua bid’ah adalah sesat." (HR. Abu Dawud no: 4607; Tirmidzi 2676; Ad Darimi; Ahmad; dan lainnya dari Al ‘Irbadh bin Sariyah).
