Note the flow rate when you use differnt size of tube ,, and note the pressure gradient in the reservoir

This case has several possibilities, so you need to provide more explanation to get a precise answer. For instance,

1- What is mode of well pressure production control?

2- Did you install packer?

etc,

Because petrel simulate reservoir performance not well performance, you can see the effect of tubing size on flow rate when you simulate well lifting performance by Prosper program.

Dear Haider,

It is possible to perform comprehensive nodal analysis using PETREL. Although PETREL isn't a simulator, PETREL is a platform of the reservoir/well model. In other words, PETREL is platform of the model that is employed ECLIPSE for reservoir simulation and PIPESIM ( PIPESIM Steady-State Multiphase Flow Simulator) for nodal analysis as shown below.

Dear Sir Omar,

Thank you for clarifying the applications of lifting performance was not available in the old versions of PETREL and its addition in new versions will save a lot of time and effort. I think the flow rate that estimated in the reservoir simulations using the PETREL (RE) linked with ECLIPSE represents the flow rate at sandface so, the changing tubing size will not change the flow rate.

Dear Haider,

You are more than welcome at anytime.

In terms of flow rate, as I mentioned it depends on many factors and how model was created.

In addition, It is possible detect if you need to calculate flow rate at sand face or wellhead based on "define nodal analysis case"
