TECHNICAL SERVICES

Designing continuous flow and intermittent gas lift installations for well producing rates from 3,500 to 10 barrels of fluid per day, and lift depths from 1,400 to 14,800 feet from surface.

Using SNAP (System Nodal Analysis Program) software to analyze, evaluate and compare gas lift and ESP systems. SNAP is used to design gas lift installations, and optimize surface equipment.

Interpreting Pressure-Temperature Surveys (PTS) to accurately determine causes of gas lift failures and giving cost-efficient remedial options. Accurate (PTS) interpretations mitigate unwarranted well pulls.

Finding the optimum producing rate to convert from Electric Submersible Pump to Gas Lift.

Recommending downhole artificial lift equipment, selection/design, gas lift valve type and specifications, and surface equipment.

TRAINING SERVICES

We focus on providing the best technical expertise in gas lift design, optimization, troubleshooting and training for our clients, as well as in-house technical support to maximize oil and gas production.

Nodal Analysis training using SNAP software for continuous and intermittent gas lift is offered

Training and mentoring of field and engineering staff in gas lift operations is available on request. 

Intermittent Gas Lift training includes hand design calculations per the research of Dr. Kermit Brown (Legend of Artificial Lift, SPE inducted). 

CLIENT GAS LIFT SUPPORT

Ensuring the interests of the client are maintained by the equipping gas lift vendor. Optimum number of gas lift valves are run with each design and quality equipment is used by the vendor.

Accurate and quick evaluations of gas lift problems narrow the period of low production, and cost saving options are given.

Clients experience accurate data analyses and fast reaction times to failing producing wells, and maintain maximum oil and gas production.

Gas lift designs are run that best suit well conditions, achieving a deeper lift point, and producing wells to their full potentials throughout their producing lives.

Best gas lift industry practice is used to find cost efficient gas lift options. These options result in significant reductions in injection gas volumes and lease operating expenses, while maximizing oil and gas production.

OTHER SERVICES

Gas lift installation designs for gas well de-liquification.

Pressure-Temperature Survey “Running in-hole” procedures are given to the slickline company to ensure the FTP surveys are run in accordance with best practices to obtain accurate data.

In-house: Reviewing production data and operating gas lift parameters and finding solutions to maintain optimum gas lift production.

Using Continuous Gas Lift “Rule by Exception” benchmarks to maintain critical gas injection rates and produce wells to their maximum potentials.

INTERMITTENT GAS LIFT SPECIALIZATION

Gas lift designs are done for intermittent gas lift installations that use either Time Cycle or Injection Choke Control.

Optimum cycle frequencies, gas injection rate per cycle, and maximum expected production are determined.

Equipment recommendations are made to increase liquid recovery per injection cycle, reduce liquid fallback, and produce the well to end of economic life (as low as 10 barrels of fluid per day).

Gas lift valve types, port sizes, and the control method of gas injection at the surface are determined.
