Gas Lift Valves Troubleshooting to Improve the Gas Lift Wells Performance

Gas lift valves can aid in the unloading and production of a well. With the valves properly spaced and correctly pressured and proper select of the port size, unloading proceeds in a stage-by-stage, valve by valve manner to the ideal point of lift, and maximum liquid production is reached. However, if well situations change, or if the gas lift design data was not very perfectly, maximum liquid production is not achieved. In this paper, addresses, how the implementation the production optimization platform for gas lift wells that led to a significant increase in oil production by identifying and replacing a damaged valve. The analysis was performed using a digital twin model that simulated operating conditions and was validated through a downhole sensor, on their turn these data are finally used for implementing conscious and forward-looking control actions, ultimate results are improved production profitability due to increase production rate, decrease operations cost, develop availability.
