BHP Calculator

This spreadsheet calculates the bottom hole pressure of a well based on tubing head pressure and flow parameters using the Poettmann-Carpenter method. The user inputs data such as tubing dimensions, wellhead pressure, fluid properties, production rates, and depths and the spreadsheet calculates key parameters like fluid densities and z-factors to determine the bottom hole pressure. The spreadsheet provides a solution of 1907 psia for the bottom hole pressure given inputs of a 500 psia wellhead pressure and 2000 stock tank barrels per day of liquid production.
