Optimization of Oil Production by Gas Lift Macaroni in “X” Field

Optimization of lift gas allocation in a gas lifted oil field as non-linear optimization problem

Proper allocation and distribution of lift gas is necessary for maximizing total oil production from a eld with gas lifted oil wells. When the supply of the lift gas is limited, the total available gas should be optimally distributed among the oil wells of the eld such that the total production of oil from the eld is maximized. This paper describes a non-linear optimization problem with constra...

Preventing Instability Phenomenon in Gas-lift Optimization

One of the problems that sometimes occur in gas allocation optimization is instability phenomenon. This phenomenon reduces the oil production and damages downhole and surface facilities. Different works have studied the stability and suggested some solutions to override it, but most of them (such as making the well intelligent) are very expensive and thus they are not applicable to many cases. ...

Optimization of Oil Field Production under Gas Coning Conditions Using the Optimal Closed-Loop Estimator

In an oil field that has reached its maximum gas handling capacity, and where wells are producing under gas coning conditions such that the gas-oil ratio (GOR) depends on the wells production rate, oil production is maximized if the marginal GOR (mGOR) is equal for all wells. The GOR and the mGOR are not readily available measurements, but they can be predicted using detailed reservoir models. ...
