What is Nodal Analysis?

Nodal analysis is a powerful engineering method used to evaluate the entire production system of an oil or gas well. By analyzing inflow (reservoir performance) and outflow (wellbore and surface equipment), Flowco uses nodal analysis to select, design, and optimize artificial lift systems - especially for gas lift. The result? Clear insight into how much your well can produce, and how to get there efficiently.

How It Works

Understanding Nodal Analysis

Nodal analysis evaluates every component in your production chain - from reservoir to surface. Our engineers create a dynamic pressure-flow profile to pinpoint where restrictions exist, what system changes will affect flow, and how much production you can realistically achieve with artificial lift. Whether you’re retrofitting a gas lift system or designing from scratch, nodal analysis gives you the answers your bottom line depends on.

The Flowco Advantage: Why Choose Our Nodal Analysis?

Reservoir-to-Surface View

We don’t guess. We map every part of your production system to understand how it truly performs.

Lift Design Precision

From valve spacing to injection rates our nodal models optimize every lift variable.

Site-Specific Strategy

Every well is different. We deliver analysis tailored to your reservoir, pressure, and goals.

Actionable Optimization

We don’t just model - we implement. Lift equipment, troubleshooting, and performance upgrades.

“Flowco’s nodal analysis not only confirmed our gas lift was underperforming—it gave us the exact solution. We implemented the recommendations, and production jumped by 18% in under 10 days.”
