Numerical modeling of the gas lift process in gas lift wells
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016In this paper, one-dimensional and two-dimensional axisymmetric motion of gas, liquid and a gas-liquid mixture in a gas-lift well is studied. Numerical simulation of the one-dimensional model of gas-lift process is considered where the movement in a gas-lift well is described by partial differential equations of hyperbolic type.

SPE/ICoTA Coiled Tubing and Well Intervention Conference and Exhibition, 2014
Abstract In Alaska oilfields, non rig tubing repair has become a viable alternative to rig workovers (RWO). Tubing straddles can remediate tubing by casing ("A" annulus) communication at a tremendous savings in areas where rig workover cost is significant. This paper advances the analysis of more than 400 tubing straddles set since 1985.

New Gas-Lift Pilot Valve Increases Gas-Lift Efficiency
SPE Latin American and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2001Abstract The most important component in an intermittent gas lift installation is the pilot valve. Its selection and proper calibration determine the success of the gas lift design. Recent tests performed in a field scale installation equipped with an experimental well and careful observations of the performance of real wells on ...

Real Gas Lift Optimization: An Alternative to Timer Based Intermittent Gas Lift
Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, 2017Abstract A simple electronic control method for automatically determining the "on-time" parameter for intermittent gas lifted wells using existing continuous gas lift valves is presented. Lift gas consumption and production during intermittent operation is compared to previous continuous gas lift results of the same wells in an ...

Proceedings of SPE Production Operations Symposium, 1991
Abstract Gas lift, a broadly applied method for producing oil, consists of gas injection into production wells to reduce the liquid density in the wells and increase the liquid inflow. Gas lift technology requires large gas volumes to be injected.

When the reservoir pressure declines, the production oil rate decreases and falls below the economic limit. One of the methods to increase the production rate is the gas lift. In this process, gas is injected to the well from the annulus. Then at the injection point it enters the tubing and is dissolved in the tubing’s fluid which causes the reduction ...

Corrosion Control in Gas-Lift Wells
Corrosion, 1952Severe corrosion was found to be taking place in the South Texas oil wells where producing pressures were not abnormally high. Most of these wells were produced by gas lift. An investigation was instigated to study the causes of the corrosion and find some means of bringing it under control.

Integrated gas lift system optimization
Theoretical Foundations of Chemical Engineering, 2013An intelligent genetic algorithm has been developed to simultaneously optimize all effective factors, namely, gas injection rate, injection depth and tubing diameter towards the maximum oil production rate with the water cut and injection pressure as the restrictions.

Optimizing Gas Lift Operations Using Disintegrable Gas Lift Valve Plugs
SPE Artificial Lift Conference & Exhibition-North America, 2014Abstract Artificial lift encompasses approximately 96% of the US oil well market. Of the wells that use artificial lift, 10% use gas lift for production. As gas is injected into the well, the viscosity of the fluid and pressure is reduced, promoting flow to the surface.
