  • Floating gas lift method
    Patent number: 11434732
    Abstract: A method for floating gas lift includes injecting natural gas from a FSRU into an annulus of an oil well, wherein the FSRU is fluidly coupled to the oil well, and the natural gas is pressurized for gas lift using at least one pump onboard the FSRU. An apparatus for floating gas lift includes a FSRU including a pump system having a high pressure (HP) LNG discharge and a regasification system including HP gaseous natural gas discharge fluidly coupled to an annulus of a downhole well, and production tubing that lifts a combined production fluid, the combined production fluid including downhole formation fluid entering the inside of the production tubing through perforations in the well casing and a production tubing inlet, and gaseous natural gas discharged from the FSRU entering the inside of the production tubing through the annulus and a valve in the production tubing.
