The advent of the unbalanced, single-element, bellows-charged gas lift valve revolutionized gas lift application and installation design methods. The following topic describes the various types of gas lift valves and crossover seats currently used in the industry. The unbalanced, single-element gas lift valve is essentially an unbalanced pressure regulator. The closing force for a gas lift valve can be a gas pressure charge in the bellows exerted over the effective bellows area or a spring force, or a combination of both. The closing force for the regulator or gas lift valve can be adjusted to maintain a desired backpressure for injection-pressure operation. The regulator or valve remains closed until this set closing force is exceeded. Generally, the major initial opening force for a gas lift valve is the pressure exerted over the effective bellows area minus the port area, and the lesser opening force is the pressure acting over the port area. In like manner, the major opening pressure for a pressure regulator is applied over an area equal to the diaphragm area minus the port area.

The following topic describes the intermittent-flow gas lifts and the factors which affect its design and performance. Intermittent-flow gas lift is applicable to low-productivity wells and to low- and high-productivity wells with low reservoir pressure. As the name implies, the reservoir fluid is produced intermittently by displacing liquid slugs with high-pressure injection gas, as illustrated inFigure 1. Either an electronic or clock-driven time-cycle controller, or an adjustable or fixed choke, controls the flow of injection gas. Not all gas lift valves operate on choke control. The number of intermittent-flow gas lift installations on time-cycle control far exceeds the number of choke-controlled installations. Intermittent-flow gas lift should be used only for tubing flow.

Ideally, an artificial-lift system should be chosen and designed during the initial planning phase of an oil field. However, in the haste to get a field on production, artificial lift may not be considered until after other production facilities are designed and installed. It is difficult to choose and install the optimum artificial-lift system after the surface production facilities have been installed. This is especially true in the case of gas lift.

Figure 1.9-Simplified flow diagram of a closed rotative gas lift system. The location of surface production facilities can greatly impact the efficiency of a gas lift operation. Production stations that provide liquid and gas separation along with other gathering facilities should be located as near the wells as practical. Every effort should be made ...

Intermittent-flow gas lift is applicable to low-productivity wells and to low- and high-productivity wells with low reservoir pressure. The following article describes intermittent-flow gas lift design. There are many published methods and variations in these methods for designing intermittent-flow gas lift installations. Intermittent pressure gradient spacing factors are used for installation designs based on an assumed daily production rate. Production rate is not a consideration for a percent-load design method.

Downhole gas lift equipment consists mainly of the gas lift valves and the mandrels in which the valves are placed. The compressor horsepower requirements are considered in analyzing the gas lift system design. Please look at the page ofgas lift equipment and facilities for more details. The early gas lift valves were the conventional tubing-retrievable type, in which the tubing mandrel that held the gas lift valve and reverse check valve was part of the tubing string. It was necessary to pull the tubing to replace a conventional gas lift valve.

Chamber lift is a form of intermittent-flow gas lift. The chamber installation design determines the success of this type of gas lift operation. Although there are numerous variations in the physical design of a chamber, the two fundamental types are the two-packer and the insert bottle type for collecting the well fluids. Both types are shown inFigure 1. The insert type of chamber is usually fabricated from the largest pipe that can be safely run inside of the casing or open hole.

A recommended practice for operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting gas lift installations is given in APIRP 11V5.[1] The importance of properly unloading a gas lift installation cannot be overemphasized in terms of possible damage to gas lift valves and for attaining the optimum depth of lift. If a permanent meter tube is not installed in the injection-gas line to the well, provisions should be made for the installation of a portable meter tube before unloading and adjustment of the injection-gas rate to the well. Preferably, the meter tube and the orifice meter or flow computer should be located near the well's injection-gas control device so that the effect of changes in the adjustment of the injection-gas volume can be observed. A two-pen pressure recorder should be installed before unloading all gas lift installations.
