...-liquid ratios are employed. Field data from 14 wells from San Juan Basin is used to analyze the hybrid use of surface compression and plunger-assisted gas lift. Operational range and cycles of plunger lift analyzed for tubing wellhead pressure of 30, 120, and 210 psi for different production rates. Nodal...

.... During this period, well production is unstable, showing severe slugging behavior. This behavior might be worsened due to certain trajectory effects, for example, toe-up, where gas lift usage can amplify the instability if it is not controlled properly. This study experimentally and numerically addresses...

... strategies. Smaller operators generally start wells using an ESP and convert to rod pump once fluid rates are below 350 to 400 BFPD. After some early trials, larger and even some smaller operators are now generally using gas lift (GL) before converting to rod pump or other positive displacement pumps...

.... In a gas lift well, if the gas injection rate is maintained above the critical rates as determined in this study, the production issues can be controlled. Therefore, it is clear from this study that the well trajectory and drilling uncertainty window must also account for the artificial lift method...
