Gas Coning

This spreadsheet calculates the critical oil flowrate for gas coning in a vertical oil well using the Mayer & Garder equation. It factors in properties of the oil and gas, dimensions of the well bore and drainage area, permeability, viscosity, and other parameters to determine the threshold oil production rate above which gas will begin to rise into the well bore. The calculation yields a critical oil flowrate of 0.029 stock tank barrels per day for the specific well described.
