The Bureau of Mines has published two reports that describe a method of determining gas-well capacities from data observed when gas deliveries are measured at high back pressures. Interpretations of the pressure data obtained when a well is allowed to flow against high back pressures reveal not only the open-flow capacity of the well but also its ability to deliver gas against different pressures. his report presents a more extended discussion of the subject matter in earlier Bureau of Mines publications relating to the same study.

The Bureau of Mines has published two reports that describe a method of determining gas-well capacities from data observed when gas deliveries are measured at high back pressures. Interpretations of the pressure data obtained when a well is allowed to flow against high back pressures reveal not only the open-flow capacity of the well but also its ability to deliver gas against different pressures. his report presents a more extended discussion of the subject matter in earlier Bureau of Mines publications relating to the same study. It supplements the information they contain with recommended procedure for obtaining data and analyzing results that are more practical and easier to use. In addition, it includes an analysis of the application of back-pressure data to gas-production problems.
