Unreferenced date February 2008 Gas lift is one of a number of processes used to artificially lift Petroleum oil or water from wells where there is insufficient reservoir pressure to produce the well. The process involves injecting gas through the tubing casing Annulus oil well annulus . Injected gas aerates the fluid to reduce its density the formation pressure is then able to lift the oil column and forces the fluid out of the wellbore. Gas may be injected continuously or intermittently, depending on the producing characteristics of the well and the arrangement of the gas lift equipment. Image Gaslift.jpg right frame Gas lift is a form of artificiallift where gas bubbles lift the oil from the well. The amount of gas to be injected to maximize oil production varies based on well conditions and geometries. Too much or too little injected gas will result in less than maximum production. Generally, the optimal amount of injected gas is determined by well tests, where the rate of injection is varied and liquid production oil and perhaps water is measured. Although the gas is recovered from ... in order to raise the pressure of the gas to a level where it can be re injected. The gas lift mandrel is a device installed in the tubing string of a gas lift well onto which or into which a gas lift valve is fitted. There are two common types of mandrels.

File Principle of plunger lift.jpg thumb 300px The stages of operation of a plunger lift. A plunger lift is an artificiallift method of gas well deliquification deliquifying a natural gas well . A plunger is used to remove contaminants from productive natural gas wells, such as water in liquid, mist, or ice forms , sand, oil and wax. https picasaweb.google.com 105886027558885815466 12012 5692726440246084466 The basics of the plunger is to open and close the well shutoff valve at the optimum times, to bring up the plunger and the contaminants and maximize natural gas production. A well without a deliquification technique will stop flowing or slow down and become a non productive well, long before a properly deliquified well. ref http blogs.mail.ru mail v sh38 ref The plunger lift has low energy cost, low environmental impact, low capital investment and low maintenance cost. Modern wellhead controllers offer a variety of criteria to control the plunger . The original controllers were just timers, with fixed open and close cycles. Measuring the various pressures in the system allows intelligent and reactive control. The pressures often measured are casing, tubing, line, and differential DP .
