Gas Flow Rate Calculation From Wellhead Pressures

Gas flow rate from a wellhead can be calculated using an equation that considers the flow coefficient, wellhead pressure, gas specific gravity, gas compressibility factor, and absolute wellhead temperature. The flow coefficient depends on the choke size and can be found in a provided table which lists values for various standard choke sizes. Care should be taken to ensure consistent unit systems are used for all variables in the equation and table.
