  1. Continuous Gas-Lift Optimization: Offshore Gulf of Mexico April 13, 2005

  2. Introduction • Background • Technical Description • Field Criteria • Method • Costs • Qualifications • Conclusion

  3. Background • SS 208—50 miles off coast of LA • 90% of wells on continuous gas-lift • Limited injection gas fluctuates • Inefficient process to optimize gas-lift

  4. Technical Description • Constant Gas-Lift Injection Rate • Real Time Wellhead Surveillance • Optimization Well Tests • Data to Desktop

  5. Field Criteria • Proper gas-lift equipment • Inadequate data gathering from wells • Need to decrease operating costs

  6. Method • New hardware on: • Wellhead • Gas-Lift Header • Test Separator • Computer hardware and software

  7. Costs • Total Cost = $860,000

  8. Qualifications • Internship with UNOCAL at SS 208 • Production Engineering course on gas-lift

  9. Conclusion • Similar field success • Next step • Questions
