Gas Lift
PVL = PFRICT + PHHD + PKE
By injecting gas, the GLR of the flowing fluid is
increased, ie, its effective density and accordingly
PHHD is reduced.
In addition, the compressibility of the gas will assist in
the lift process since as the gas rises up the tubing
with the liquid it will expand, causing an increase in the
tubing flow velocity.
However, as the gas expands it will introduce some
increase in the frictional pressure losses which will
negate some of the advantage due to the reduced
hydrostatic head.

Gas Lift
PTOT=[PRES+PBHC+PVL+PSURF+PCHOKE ]Q
If the system undergoes gas lift, then PTOT will be
held constant, but PVL will decrease to a minimum
and Q will increase through a maximum.
Thereafter PVL will increase and Q will decrease.
Gas lift is a very effective method of increasing the
production rate, provided that:
the gas is effectively dispersed in the flowing fluid column and
the optimum injection rate is not exceeded.

Downhole Pumping
PRES=PRES+PBHC+PV+PSURF+PCHOKE+PSEP
if a pump system is used, then an additional term is
introduced to reflect the supplementary energy
provided PPUMP.
This will allow a higher production rate to be attained:
PRES+ PPUMP =
PRES+PBHC+PV+PSURF+PCHOKE+PSEP
There are four principal methods which are:
Electric Submersible Pumps
Hydraulic Downhole Pumps
Sucker Rod Pumping
Jet Pumping

Jet Pumping
In jet pumping, fluid is
pumped down to the
downhole pump where it
is allowed to expand
through an orifice and,
using the venturi
concept, this provides
suction at the base of the
well to lift fluid.
