Abstract

The Nodal analysis approach is a very flexible and simple method. It is set up and developed from the fluid mechanics equations using to solve optimal problems and design suitable parameters to related industry production systems. Once procedures are presented to analyze each component separately, the Nodal Analysis approach will be applied to analyze all system. In petroleum industry, the Nodal Analysis approach can be used to improve performance of production systems, optimize production parameters such as tubing size, flow rate, pressure, well completed parameters...To be able to optimize production system, we must optimize all possible production parameters. However, this paper only performs applying the Nodal Analysis approach to calculate optimum tubing diameter.
