Continuous Optimization of Dual String Gas Lift-GLW-2021

The majority of the world’s gas lifted wells are under-optimized. Addressing this opportunity can deliver production uplifts approaching 20% for single completion wells and exceeding 40% for dual-string gas lifted wells. Recognizing this opportunity, ADNOC and Silverwell Energy partnered to co-develop a business case and implementation plan to pilot a dual-string digitally controlled gas lift […]
