Abstract

Summary This paper presents a method for analyzing data from gas-lift valve performance tests. This method relies on the ability to determine the true dynamic stem position of the valve during flowing conditions. The types of tests required to obtain the data needed by this analysis method are explained. The data analysis method is applicable to any pressure-operated gas-lift valve and yields predictions within 10% of actual flow rate.
