This Gas Lift training outlines the gas lift system through multiple configurations found in the oil industry, also known as the forms of Gas Lift. It introduces a typical Gas Lift system and explains what Gas Lift is.
According to many industry experts, Gas Lift is the least understood artificial lift method, but its complexity is not the reason behind its misunderstanding. Instead, the challenge behind Gas Lift is that after implementing a lousy design, the well will often keep producing, unlike other artificial lift methods (e.g., ESP) that stop producing. Thus, operators fail to recognize design errors that restrain production.
Therefore, there is a significant potential to increase production by engineers who understand the Gas Lift principle. Hence, professionals in the oil industry need to understand how this activation method works to make the most effective use of resources.
This Gas Lift training outlines the gas lift system through multiple configurations found in the oil industry, also known as the forms of Gas Lift. It introduces a typical Gas Lift system and explains what Gas Lift is. It explains the most common form, i.e., continuous Gas Lift, and the other common forms of Gas Lift, such as Intermittent Gas Lift, Plunger Lift, Annular Flow, or Dual Gas Lift Completion, are also presented. Moreover, you will also find rarer forms of Gas Lift like Pig Lift or Gas Lift combined with other artificial lift methods.
This lesson is the 1st of a series of 5 designed to help you reach an advanced level in Gas Lift oil production and operations. It is followed by the courses ‘Gas Lift Equipment’, ‘Gas Lift Unloading Sequence and Mandrel Spacing Design’, ‘Gas Lift Optimization and Design with Existing Mandrels’, and ‘Gas Lift Troubleshooting’.

Clear, informative and explanatory content
After watching these videos, now I know the existence of several gas lift solution for different type of wells, reservoirs and completion. Even being no so common as the conventional gas lift, is always rewarding to get to know the current engineering solutions that exist around the world.
Feeling more confident in identifying the different forms of gas lift wells thanks to the well explained material and quiz.
A thorough review of the forms of the gas lift system
I followed the course “The Forms of Gas Lift” as a peer-reviewed request by Damien Leonard. The course proposes a basic but thorough review of many forms of the gas lift system. Many exotic forms are presented in this course like gas lift associated with jet pump or gas lift as a backup for ESP. I made several comments based on my experience on the topic and to highlight some improvements. Overall a very good work done by Damien for this first module of his gas lift training program.
Excellent course to get familiar with the gas lift system
This is an excellent introductory course for becoming familiar with the GL system. Simple to follow and fully explained.
Good Introduction Course to Gas Lift Fundamentals
Good Introduction Course to Gas Lift Fundamentals. Found the fundamentals covered provide the student with a good understanding of gas lift principles and fundamentals
A course that I am sure you will like
This course allows you to know clearly the operation of the GL as well as its installations and the necessary equipment for its operation. It also allows you to know the different types of GL that exist and the combination with other artificial systems. A course that I am sure you will like. 100% recommendable.
Good course on Gas Lift fundamentals
Good basic course on Gas Lift fundamentals. Very good explanation from the trainer. Extremely helpful for personnel working in gas lift domain.
Well detailed and well delivered course
This is an excellent course. It looks very simple but was well detailed and well delivered. I really recommend this course as the fastest way to get along and understand gas lift systems.
Very good introduction to gas lift methods
I learned a lot with this training, a very good introduction to gas lift methods for professionals in the Oil and Gas industry.
Very good content, very clear explanations
I have taken this course as I was looking for a cost effective training alternative for field production engineers in Western Africa, during the 2015 downturn when all budgets had to be drastically reduced. This course proved to be very interesting solution. Very good content, very clear explanations. The feedback received by the field engineers team was excellent. The knowledge of wells mechanisms improved and it was noticed in the operations. I feel I have fully achieved my objectives with this training. I recommend this course if you are looking for a solution to train your operational staff with some years of field experience at a very competitive cost.
Learnt new ways to optimized production
Good introductory overview of Gas Lift options and techniques
The course provides an overall satisfactory introduction to Gas Lift options and the main Gas Lift techniques. It covers the general required information and gives a useful overview for learners. To make the course stronger, it could include more practical examples and field data for the different Gas Lift types and applications.
Overview of first part of forms of gas lift
Till that part of training, good overview of different glas lift types has been provided. While current operations mainly focus on standard continous gas lift, session helps clarify fow these alternative methods can be applied under low PI, liquid loaded, or multizone conditions.
In this course I have learned details of different GL methods.
In this course I have learned details of different GL methods.

Good so fare
Recommended course
I discovered several GL methods through this course. Again, very good explanations and course support. I recommend the course.
Nice training
I am very happy to have been able to revisit the different forms of gas lift. Interesting…
A very good intruduction of gas lift system and gas lift types
For those people who want to get familiar with gas lift systems, this training is excellent. Damien Leonard approaches topics as continuous and intermittent gas lift (most common methods in industry) but also approaches specific cases as chamber lift, annular flow, packer-less gas lift, gas lift as a backup for ESP and others. This course is engaging and leaves participants motivated to get more specialised in each gas lift type.
Excellent
A very complete and detailed course on Gas Lift, its principles, and its types.
It is a very good course, thank you very much Damien.
Amazing course for all artificial lift systems engineers
Well organized, very detailed, rich course covering all the forms of gas lift completion types
Excellent overview of Gas Lift
The introductory course clearly explains various gas lift configurations that can be installed in a well, their recommended uses, and associated disadvantages. Throughout the presentation, the instructor effectively demonstrates the operating principle and important considerations to keep in mind.
The dedication and hours put into each slide are evident. I appreciate the references to various sources, as they allow for further exploration of these topics.
It’s a great way to start to dive into the fascinating world of gas lift.
