Gas Lift System Production Optimization

Introduction:

This course addresses various areas of gas lifting operations. It gives a complete look on the operational activities which will enable field operators to fully optimize even from systems selection, design, and installation. Moreover, the course will then focus on the techniques in achieving production optimization, specifically with continuous flow installations, monitoring, and run-life optimization. In order to achieve optimal levels of production, NODAL analysis will be used in order to analyze and troubleshoot gas lifted wells. Class exercises and case studies will also be presented in order to test the candidates’ application of the concepts learnt in the course into situational instances of field operations.

The objective of this course is to provide comprehensive coverage of Gas Lift design in Production Optimization. The latest technology multi-phase flow and inflow well performance is covered. Continuous flow and intermittent lift including valve mechanics are emphasized. Theory and applications are balance throughout. Example problems are discussed and others worked out by participants.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Understand the techniques in gas lift system operations to achieve production
  • Learn to optimize production through gas lift system design, analysis, and troubleshooting
  • Apply techniques in gas lift operations from beginning to end of operations
  • Manage challenging environment faced by gas lifted wells
  • Overcome the limitations and problems faced in applying these optimization techniques
  • Optimize operations through understanding gas lifting’s role in the whole production system
  • Gain practical skills in valve mechanics and NODAL analysis
  • Integrate gas lift system best operation practices with production optimization
