A system and method for analyzing and validating oil and gas well production data is disclosed. The system includes a network, a server connected to the network, and a set of wells connected to the network. In a preferred embodiment, the server is programmed to store and execute the method. The method includes the steps of collecting a set of data from the set of wells, performing an first RPI&#xae; evaluation on the set of data, creating a matched data set from the set of data, segregating the matched data set into a set of comparison groups, normalizing each comparison group of the set of comparison groups, calculating a set of performance metrics between a subset of the set of comparison groups, and calculating a probability for each performance metric of the set of performance metrics.

System and method for analyzing and validating oil and gas well production data

An improved drive head for use in transporting materials has a frame for mounting near a tubing orifice, a drive wheel and second wheel rotatably mounted on the frame. Each of the wheels are adaptable to receive a fluid entraining conveyor. The drive head causes the conveyor to move through a predetermined conveyor path on which the conveyor winds about the drive wheel through at least a majority of its surface, and preferably 330.degree.. The radius of a down-conveyor conveyor track of the second wheel is preferably slightly greater than the radius of the drive wheel conveyor track. Preferably, tires are provided which are mounted on wheel hubs of the drive and second wheels, and these tires may be made of an elastomer having a higher coefficient of friction than the preferably plastic drive and second wheel hubs. The preferred embodiment includes a third wheel which is disposed on the conveyor path to be closer to the orifice than the second wheel.

Drive head for flexible conveyor fluid lifting system

A conveying apparatus for lifting fluid includes a flexible conveyor assembly having a pair of flexible tubes forming respective tubular walls and an endless flexible rope conveyor extending through respective passages defined by the tubular walls. The rope conveyor has riser and return portions and upper and lower end portions. A pair of roller members and a motion-producing device are provided for mounting and moving the rope conveyor about an endless path with the riser and return portions of the conveyor moving in opposite directions relative to one another through the different passages. The riser portion of the rope conveyor and the one tubular wall of the flexible tube surrounding it form an annulus between them extending from a lower inlet end to an upper outlet end of the flexible tube. The radial dimension of the annulus and the velocity at which the rope conveyor is moved are preselected so that the riser portion in moving relative to the one tubular wall causes an annular-shaped turbulent stream of fluid to flow axially upwardly with the riser portion such that the annular-shaped stream is not substantially adhered to riser portion of the moving rope conveyor but instead is entrained by the moving riser portion and moved upwardly within an annular core flow region of the annulus to thereby lift fluid from the inlet end to the outlet end of the one flexible tube.
