New Field Separator Tubing Oil + Gas + Water Casing Reservoir
Mature Field Separator Tubing Oil + Gas + Water Casing Reservoir
Artificial Lift • Beam Pump • Electric Submersible Pump • Gas Lift
Gas Lift • High pressure gas is inject into the production tubing • Reduce the density of fluid column • Stimulates natural flow
Well Performance Curve (WPC) • Polynomial • Alarcón et al. (2002) • Nakashima et al. (2005)
Typical Gas Lift Objectives • Production maximization • Profit maximization • Cost minimization subject to production quota
Limited lift-gas injection rate Typical Gas Lift Constraints
Limits on oil, gas and water handling capacities Typical Gas Lift Constraints
Typical Gas Lift Constraints • Different gas-lift performance curves for each well • Lower and upper bounds on gas-lift injection • Activation constraints
Objective Function • N: number of wells • po, pg: profit per produced barrel of oil and gas • pw,pi: water treatment and gas compression cost • γon, γgn,γwn: fractions of oil, gas and water produced by well n • qpn: production rate of well n • qin: gas injection rate for well n
