Gaslift Monitoring & Optimization
The Optilift Gas is a system specially designed to monitor and control the
well head dynamic variables of a gas lift production well. The Optilif Gas system adjust the gas lift injection flow to achieve the predetermined flow rate,
and internal computer part of the Optilift Gas computes in real time the estimate oil-water production. This system is been deploy in many field in South America especially in remote locations onshore and offshore.
Challenges
During gas lift operation, production companies are facing many challenges the most critical are: minimizing the long time to well responses, offshore mobility since operating crews rely on boats for transportation affecting the ability to set manual choke valves and collect gas lift data from obsolete circular charts. The extended distance between the wells and the gas lift distribution manifolds and gathering stations. Due to the fix position of a manual choke there are high increases in tubing-head pressure causing a time lag between the actual injection demand and the tubing-head pressure.
