Objectives for Basic Gas Lift Seminar

Gas lift Workshop HISTORY -WALS HAS CONDUCTED SEMINARS FOR MANY YEARS -BASIC FORMAT BY TOM RYAN (MACCO) -EXPANDED AND IMPROVED UPON -ORIGINALLY A ONE WEEK SEMINAR -REDUCED TO THREE DAYS AT CUSTOMERS REQUEST

Gas Lift Workshop SEMINAR TYPES TECHNICAL SESSION THAT INCLUDES THEORY EVALUATION GRAPHICAL DESIGN TROUBLESHOOTING VALVE MECHANICS PRACTICAL SESSIONS ADVANCED GAS LIFT COURSES

Gas Lift Workshop CURRENTLY -SCHEDULE FOUR DOMESTIC PER YEAR -IN-HOUSE TRAINING ON REQUEST -INTERNATIONALLY BY REQUEST -TWO INSTRUCTORS AT ALL TIMES -OVER 100 PARTICIPANTS PER YEAR

Gas Lift Workshop PURPOSE TO FAMILIARIZE CURRENT AND POTENTIAL CUSTOMER WITH THE APPLICATION OF GAS LIFT TO IMPROVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND PROFICIENCY OF GAS LIFT COMPANY PERSONNEL

Gas Lift Workshop SCOPE THE SEMINARS ARE DESIGNED TO FAMILIARIZE THE PARTICIPANT WITH GAS LIFT APPLICATION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLES WHILE EMPHASIZING THE EFFECTS BETWEEN THE GAS LIFT AND THE PRODUCING SYSTEM

Gas Lift Workshop COURSE ORGANIZATION ULTIMATE GOAL SET FOR PARTICIPANTS IS TO LIFT AS DEEP AS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE SYSTEM USING OTHER OBJECTIVES AND CLASS PROBLEMS,WE WORK TOWARD THAT GOAL

PowerPoint Gas Lift Workshop VISUAL AIDS USED DURING SEMINAR WELL MODEL EQUIPMENT CUTAWAYS ANIMATIONS SOFTWARE WEM, VALCAL, VPC

Gas Lift Workshop OBJECTIVES FIRST, WE DEFINE THE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS OF GAS LIFT AS USED IN CONTINUOUS FLOW INTERMITTENT FLOW

Gas Lift Workshop OBJECTIVES DEFINE AND DISCUSS THE AREAS OF THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM THAT REQUIRE PROFILING DISCUSS THE TOOLS AVAILABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASK AND THEIR LIMITATIONS

Gas Lift Workshop THREE AREAS TO DEFINE RESERVOIR VERTICAL HORIZONTAL

PRODUCTIVITY INDEX

INFLOW PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIP VOGEL SBHP F.E. = 1.0

MULTIPHASE FLOWING GRADIENTS

Multiphase Flowing Gradients

VERTICAL PERFORMANCE VERTICAL FLOW CORRELATIONS : SHOULD BE SELECTED BASED ON COMPARISON WITH ACTUAL MEASURED DATA. WHEN NOT AVAILABLE, SELECT DATA FROM A WELL PRODUCING UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS.

Gas Lift Workshop OBJECTIVES APPLY PROCEDURES USED FOR EVALUATING POTENTIAL OIL WELLS FOR THE APPLICATION OF GAS LIFT USE “HANDS ON” GRAPHICAL DESIGN AND VERIFY WITH SOFTWARE

WELLHEAD PRESSURE VS. PRODUCTION

EFFECT OF OPERATING DIFFERENTIAL

WELL EVALUATION

Gas Lift Workshop OBJECTIVES DEMONSTRATE CONTINUOUS GAS LIFT DESIGN METHODS FOR IPO AND PPO VALVES DESIGNS ARE ACCOMPLISHED WITH “HANDS ON” METHOD AND VERIFIED WITH SOFTWARE CURRENT AND FUTURE CONDITIONS CONSIDERED AS WELL AS MINIMUM DATA

Gas Lift Valve Spacing

CONTINUOUS FLOW GAS LIFT DESIGN

Current and Future Conditions

Gas Lift Workshop OBJECTIVE EXAMINE THE MECHANICS OF IPO AND PPO G.L.V.’S AND THEIR GAS PASSAGE CAPABILITIES AS PER VPC

PRESSURE VALVE FORCE BALANCE EQUATION PO (AB-AP) + PT (AP) = PVC (AB) POAB -POAP + PT (AP) = PVC (AB) POAB - POAP + PTAP = PVC AB AB AB AB AB PO - PO AP + PT AP = PVC AB AB PO ( 1 - R) + PTR = PVC PO = PVC - PTR 1 - R

Typical Loadrate Test Data

Gas Lift Workshop OBJECTIVE PRESENT AND DISCUSS SOME OF THE AVAILABLE TOOLS FOR EVALUATING OR TROUBLE SHOOTING GAS LIFT INSTALLATIONS DISCUSS ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS DISCUSS CORRECT METHODS OF USE

Gas Lift Workshop OBJECTIVE DISCUSS CURRENT METHODS AND PROCEDURES BEING USED FOR OPTIMIZING GAS LIFT OPERATIONS

BENEFITS Gas Lift Workshop PARTICIPANTS REALIZATION OF THE VALUE OF QUALITY DATA FOR OPTIMIZING THE APPLICATION BEFORE AND AFTER INSTALLATION REALIZATION THAT THE EFFICIENCY OF THE SYSTEM IS IMPROVED AND TROUBLESHOOING MINIMIZED WITH THE PROPER APPLICATION OF THE GAS LIFT EQUIPMENT

BENEFITS Gas Lift Workshop PARTICIPANTS FROM MANY DIFFERENT AREAS EXCHANGE IDEAS FOR REMEDIES TO PRODUCTION PROBLEMS MOST IMPORTANT, WE BECOME MORE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS AND NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND OUR INDUSTRY

Gas Lift Workshop THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION
