Description

artificial lift represents an increasingly important part of the oil business. In fact, at the time of writing, over 90% of the oil wells in the United States used some form of artificial lift. The four basic types of artificial lift used in oil industry are: rod pumping, electric submersible pumping, hydraulic pumping, and gas lit. As the name implies, gas lift is only one of the artificial lift system that does not use some form of mechanical pump to physically force the fluid from one place to another. Because of this phenomenon, gas lift has certain advantages over the other system in some instances and occupies a rather unique and important place as a lift mechanism.

This manual is under jurisdiction of the Executive Committee on Training and Development, Exploring & Production Department, American petroleum institute. It is intended to familiarize operating personnel with the use of gas lift as an artificial lift system. It includes information on the basic principles of gas lift, the choice of gas lift equipment, and how various types of gas equipment work, and how a gas system should be designed. Information also included on monitoring, adjusting, regulating, and trouble-shooting gas lift equipment.
