Course Description
This five full-day course is designed to provide your valuable attendees with a comprehensive knowledge
about Gas Lift design, operation, optimization, and troubleshooting in the oilfield. The course
will address. key concepts involved in the application of gas lift methods and a practical
understanding of their operation and optimization. Well modelling software will be provided
into the course to cope with the industry trends and leverage company performance levels.
The course starts by presenting a review of gas lift equipment, valve operation and the unloading process.
Discussion is carried out on installation, commissioning, operation monitoring,
troubleshooting, and maintenance. Recent innovations in gas lift technology will also be
presented and discussed. After attending this course, participants will be able to identify,
diagnose, analyze, and solve gas lift problems ensuring the efficient operation of gas lift systems
and maximizing production. Well modelling software will be used to illustrate design and
troubleshooting applications while network modelling software will illustrate gas lift gas
allocation and field wide optimization techniques
Well entries to replace gas lift valves are relatively cheap compared to other forms of artificial lift. The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the gas lift system, design and operation.
