Abstract
Summary In recent years, gas exploration and production (E&P) companies have acknowledged that pressure boosting in close proximity to a reservoir can accelerate production rates as well as increase the recovery of reserves beyond that possible by conventional central compression alone. This paper summarizes the key well and reservoir parameters that determine the production enhancement potential of downhole gas compression (DGC). An industry-funded joint industry project (JIP) has been established to complete the development of this key enabling technology. Detailed design is well under way, with the objective of completing a field trial in 2007. A summary of progress to date on this project is included in this paper.
