Pressure Gradient Analysis for Oil Well

The document provides well data including depth, flow rates, pressures, temperatures and fluid properties. It then calculates: 1) Static pressure of 2900 psig. 2) Subsequent valve spacing depths (DV1-DV6) using calculated unloading pressure gradients of 0.16 psi/ft from previous valve pressures down to 800 psig. 3) DV1 is calculated to be at 1800 ft, with pressures decreasing below each subsequent DV.
