Introduction Well performance is a critical aspect of oil and gas production, directly impacting efficiency, profitability, and sustainability. To maintain and enhance production, engineers rely on artificial lift methods such as Gas Lift and Electrical…
Gas Lift Unloading Valve Bellows a key component often neglected that can kill the run life of your Gas Lift well Introduction The operating of a gas lift well relies primarily on the proper work…
A good way to learn new things to improve your well production, is to read books. In this article I will discuss some of my favorites petroleum engineering books. I will share with you the…
Should you keep a Gas Lift back up on an ESP completion? On a gas lift field, if you convert a well to ESP, should you keep a gas lift back up on it? Gas…
The advantages of Gas Lift In a world with a growing need for artificial lift, Gas Lift offers a lot of flexibility and advantages. Indeed Gas Lift: Is compatible with downhole safety barriers Can handle…
Top 3 Gas Lift well issues There are 3 very common issues with gas lift wells: 1) Gas Lift injection is happening across a shallow valve (figure 1), instead of across the orifice set in…
Maximizing the production of a well equipped with a pump is easy to understand. In most cases, it involves measuring the oil submergence above the pump. High submergence indicates the possibility to pump at a…
The need for Artificial Lift When a well produces in natural flow, it means that the reservoir pressure has enough strength to push the oil to the surface. If the reservoir pressure drops too much,…
What is Well Performance? Well performance is the discipline that aims at maximizing the production of a well. It involves the understanding of the well production mechanisms known as the well inflow and the well…
The challenge of renewing oil reserves Oil and Gas Exploration & Production (E&P) companies face the continuous challenge to maintain their production and replenish their reserves to meet the oil demand. Between 2015 to 2021,…
