Surface Controlled Gas Lift Optimization Vision Presentation SCGL Overview Automation Optimization & Future Potential Production Analysis Issues with Traditional Gas Lift Data Integration Conclusion Questions
Production Stabilization In Wells With Downward Inclined Flowlines Through Seafloor Gas Lift Presentation: Subsea bathymetry may play an important role in production flow stability. This is the case of a well located 14 km away from the production unit, demanding a long downward tie-back. Given such conditions, it was necessary to apply a solution to […]
Innovative Retrofit Straddle Deep Gas-Lift Technology for Activating and Enhancing Oil Production Presentation: Objective/ Scope: This paper outlines an approach to activate and enhance production from a deep, moderate bottomhole-pressure (BHP) reservoir in a mature offshore oilfield by using deep gas-lift technology. Enhanced software-based analysis, design and optimization has proved to be effective in enhancing […]
First Deployment in Middle East of Digital Gas Lift in Dual String Offshore Well Presentation: Objective/Scope: Gas lift is one of the most crucial components for achieving and maintaining production targets for ADNOC Offshore assets. One major factor for this is the utilization of dual completions, whereby two production zones can be produced via a […]
Gaslift Optimization Strategies for Enhanced Productivity in Ageing Brown Fields Presentation The introduction and optimization of gas lift systems in oil wells is a crucial process that aims to enhance the recovery of hydrocarbons and extend the life of a well. When brown fields and assets in late life are considered within the context of […]
Erosion Testing of Conventional Gas Lift Check Valves for Unconventional Applications Presentation Onshore tight oil production has led to a renaissance for conventional gas lift equipment. After years of customer and supplier focus on side pocket mandrels and their associated flow control devices, tubing-deployed conventional mandrels and valves are back in style. But are yesterday’s […]
Disruptive S-Curves for Surface Controlled Gas Lift and ESPs Presentation First, I am going to talk about some science related to innovation and market acceptance trends in new technologies. Most are familiar with the S-Curve. Maybe some are familiar with the disruption curve. The next step is the interactions between these in technology ecosystems. I […]
Deep Water Gulf of Mexico – Challenging Hi Angle Subsea Gas Lift Valve Intervention Presentation This paper presents the technology utilized to efficiently replace a leaking Gas Lift Valve (GLV). The technical challenge was to replace the GLV, at short notice (due to the operating window), allow the Kickover Tool (KOT) to pass a minimum […]
Application of Shear Gas Lift Valves in the Pre-Salt Buzios Field Since the beginning of pre-salt oil production, Petrobras has identified over 25 cases of failure in gas lift valves, characterized by unwanted flow from tubing to annulus. Out of these, at least 14 cases have required a rig intervention to replace the damaged valve. […]
