C&P Webinar: Max Lift – HP Gas Lift Systems
The Max Lift-HP gas lift system details the comparison between conventional gas lift system applications, and high pressure/Annular Flow gas lift system application. The Max Lift-HP gas lift system provides for a further reduction in Flowing Bottomhole Pressure (FBHP) and increases in overall liquid production, in comparison to the conventional gas lift system application. The study results of the Max Lift -HP gas lift system was conducted in the Permian Basin during Q1 of 2018. The presentation outlines five different application types for gas lift. This includes tubing flow gas lift, the gas lift equipment, design considerations and, FBHP comparisons between conventional gas lift system applications and Max Lift-HP. Annular flow gas lift (tubing inside casing) is also compared to tubing flow gas lift and explains the difference in FBHP when flowing surface area is increased by utilizing annular flow gas lift. The Max Lift-HP gas lift system application equipment and design parameters are detailed in the presentation. Design comparisons with calculated FBHP and production rates are shown to illustrate the difference in overall liquid production that resulted from the Q1 study in the Permian Basin. Outcomes and lessons learned discuss proper selection and compressor sizing, surface facility considerations, and proper sizing of the gas lift equipment.
