Abstract

Gas injection pressure has a very decided effect on the efficiency and operation of a continuous flow gas lift well. Selection of a gas injection pressure that is too high can result in needless investment in compression and other equipment, whereas pressures that are too low can cause inefficient gas lift operations and failure to produce a well's full potential. This paper discusses the effect of various producing parameters on the selection of gas injection pressure and describes techniques for predicting and evaluating these effects on a specific gas lift installation to determine the most profitable operating system.
