ABSTRACT

Among the most popular production optimisation strategies in use worldwide in oil and gas operations are artificial lift systems. Certain wells lose pressure in the system after a while, making it impossible for them to continue producing crude oil to the surface at their normal pressures. Consequently, in order to boost output, companies would need artificial lift technology. Artificial lift is utilised in the vast majority of producing wells worldwide. An artificial lift method for extending the life of oil or gas wells is the gas lift system. To lower the hydrostatic pressure inside the production tubing, a lighter fluid is pumped into the annulus. Well, before it stopped producing, XYZ was in production for a few years. A gas lift artificial lift project was put into place to optimise its output capacity. This increased the well's longevity and revitalised it. Because it is more readily available, has a longer lifespan than other options, and requires less money to build and operate, the gas lift was selected for the candidate well. The well was modelled using PROSPER, which also supplied the ideal gas injection rate (4.318 MMscf/day) needed to start the well's flow.
