 hat is gas lift?
W ideal for challenging
Gas lift, also known as gas deliquification, is needed when natural gas
wells are capped with water that creates hydrostatic pressure. This
applications,
blockage prevents gas from reaching the surface. Solvays foamers including:
help lessen the fluid density, allowing gas to travel through the liquid
cap and increase gas production. w High brine settings

w Low to high pressure

settings

w High temperature settings

w Choosing the right product

is typically determined by
the dynamics of the well
and a simple, on-site
laboratory compatibility
screening

A variety of artificial lift methods

are available to increase gas flow.
These include:
Mechanical
Hydraulic lift
Beam pump/sucker rods
Gas lift
Injection of gas into the fluids

Chemical packages
Foam Assisted Lift (FAL)
Surfactant based formulations
(foamers) injected into well bore
Shut in for several days to generate lift
