GAS LIFT OPERATION

INTRODUCTIONDefinition :

Gas Lift is an artificial lift method that uses energy from the gas (high gas pressure), which is inserted in annulus and the gas will enter to tubing string through gas lift valve to provide lifting energy.

The purpose are :Increasing well productionReviving dead well

GAS LIFT OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

Type of gas lift :Based on the equipment used : - Annulus

(SPM) - Macaroni

Based on the flow of gas : - Continuous - Intermittent

CONCLUSIONGas lift are installed for increasing well

production and reviving dead well by inject gas (high gas pressure) to the well , so fluid can flow to the surface.
