2001 ASME/API Gas-Lift Workshop Introduction to Gaslift Valve Testing Chaired by Ken Decker, Decker Technology, Inc. With presentations by Cleon Dunham - OAC, Inc Burney Waring – Shell USA Shauna Noonan - Chevron Naiza Abdullah and Marianna Jamil - BSP

2001 ASME/API Gas-Lift Workshop Agenda Purpose of API 11V2 RP Importance of Gaslift Valve Testing Importance of Gaslift Valve Modeling Presentations Quality Assurance Roundtable

2001 ASME/API Gas-Lift Workshop Purpose of API 11V2 RP Establish a uniform method of determining gaslift valve performance Highlight the need to establish performance as an important engineering criteria

2001 ASME/API Gas-Lift Workshop Importance of Gaslift Valve Testing Verify that the valve actually works as the manufacturer states it works. Provide a reliable basis for sizing ports and chokes in gaslift installations Provide a means for comparing the performance of different types of valves Provide a basis upon which improvements can be made to gaslift valves

2001 ASME/API Gas-Lift Workshop Importance of Gaslift Valve Modeling Provide a means for installation designers to determine the gas throughput for any pressure and temperature conditions Provide a means for computer based design and troubleshooting that relies on tested performance rather than assumed performance Provide a means to compare the performance of different types of valves
