The objective of this course is to provide comprehensive coverage of Gas Lift design in Production Optimization. The latest technology multi-phase flow and inflow well performance is covered. Continuous flow and intermittent lift including valve mechanics are emphasized. Theory and applications are balance throughout. Example problems are discussed and others worked out by participants.

By the end of this BTS training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the techniques in gas lift system operations to achieve production
• Learn to optimize production through gas lift system design, analysis, and troubleshooting
• Apply techniques in gas lift operations from beginning to end of operations
• Manage challenging environment faced by gas lifted wells
• Overcome the limitations and problems faced in applying these optimization techniques
• Optimize operations through understanding gas lifting’s role in the whole production system
• Gain practical skills in valve mechanics and NODAL analysis
• Integrate gas lift system best operation practices with production optimization
