  • Monitoring, diagnosing and optimizing gas lift operations by presenting one or more actions recommended to achieve a GL system performance
    Patent number: 10138724
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring, diagnosing and optimizing operation of a gas lift (GL) system, at least some of which include a method that includes collecting measured data representative of the GL system's state, storing the measured data, comparing the measured data to a well model's calculated data for the well and identifying likely conditions of the GL system based on mismatches between the measured data and the calculated data. The method further includes updating the model to reflect the likely conditions and selected corrections of the likely conditions, generating GL system performance curves using the updated model and presenting to a user actions recommended to achieve a GL system performance consistent with a GL system operating point on at least one of the GL system performance curves.
