Objective:

Stated quite simply, the objective of this course is to provide the most advanced and comprehensive gas lift design and diagnostics training package available to the industry. The course provides a comprehensive review of common gas lift techniques and concentrates on the downhole aspects of gas lift performance and diagnostics. It also emphasizes emerging technology in the form of actual gas lift valve performance and dynamic gas lift simulation, which advance the practice of gas lift from a black art to a true engineering discipline. The course is targeted toward engineering staff involved in the design, performance, and monitoring of gas lift installations. While previous experience or knowledge of gas lift are not prerequisites, students are expected to be familiar with the basic principles of well modeling and nodal analysis. The course will also prove valuable to experienced gas lift engineers who would benefit from exposure to some of the newer methods currently being developed and tested by the industry.

Course Description:

The course begins with a quick overview of production systems analysis and justification of gas lift as a means of increasing well productivity, followed by an introduction to gas lift principles, surface installations, and downhole equipment. The three basic elements of continuous gas lift design are covered thoroughly: operating valve positioning, unloading valve positioning, and valve sizing. Actual, detailed valve performance is examined, with an overview of methods and techniques used to predict valve behavior under actual flowing conditions. This forms the basis for modeling and analyzing problematic gas lift behavior using DynaLift™ software, a proprietary software developed by Weatherford in association with Decker Technologies. Other topics covered in the course include gas lift operations, multi well lift gas allocation, and optimization, as well as a special section devoted entirely to intermittent gas lift.
