A simulation with a compositional model, composed of a graphical front end and readily available commercial simulator software, improved the optimization of gas lift in oil wells when compared with ...

Typically, a well will produce at its highest production rate at the beginning of the production cycle; and then production will wane. In an effort to increase production from both oil and natural gas ...

Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...
