What you will learn
Participants will acquire a deep understanding on how to optimize a Gas Lift well. Through the review of cases, they will learn how to recognize a well that can be optimized and see how to achieve it. This is key knowledge to be able to increase the production of any Gas Lift well. Students will learn the concept of Gas Lift design through an exercise and will be coached so that they can perform such a design themselves using a software (Prosper) to assist them.
Description
According to many industry experts, Gas Lift (GL) is the least understood artificial lift method, but the reason behind that is not due to its complexity. When you do things wrong on other artificial lift methods (e.g. ESP) your well will stop producing, a Gas Lift well will often keep producing even with a bad design. Hence many operators do not realize that their Gas Lift well is not producing at its full potential and don’t pay attention to it.
There is, therefore, very significant potential for production increase by understanding the principles of Gas Lift and this is a huge career opportunity for any engineer willing to master this activation method.
This course is the 4th of the series related to gas lift activation. It follows the courses “Forms of Gas Lift”, “Gas Lift Equipment” and “Gas Lift Unloading Sequence and Mandrel Spacing Design”. It explains how you can optimize the production of a Gas Lift well with its current Gas Lift design as well as how you could optimize it by changing the valves using the existing Gas Lift Mandrels. Students will be guided to make the Gas Lift Design of a well using Abacus (which mandrels should be equipped with a valve, a dummy or an orifice) so that they can understand the principles behind these choices and how to select their parameters properly (e.g. kick-off pressure). The last part of the training explains how to make such a Gas Lift Design using the software – Prosper. Students will be guided through the Gas Lift design existing form in Prosper (meaning of each parameter to be filled and recommendations on the best options to select).

Saurabh (verified owner) –
Excellent Course. Great structured material.
ipjuanvazquez (verified owner) –
This course is my favorite. As its name indicates, it allows you to clearly know different ways to optimize a well with GL and the different operating parameters that must be taken into account in order to have a more complete and successful optimization work. It also allows you to know how a GL design is made with existing spindles. The guide to using Prosper is very clear and helpful. Excellent course.

Excellent gas lift overview of all gas lift considerations regarding optimization and design, I would highly recommend this course to production engineers and field staff overseeing their gas lift wells.

The course exhibits exceptional intuitiveness and has been thoroughly documented. As with all other modules, the instructor has exerted significant effort in delivering top-quality content to equip new artificial lift engineers or petroleum engineers with the necessary skills to effectively implement a GL design.
