Gas lift technology increases oil
production rate by injection of
compressed gas into the lower
section of tubing through the
casing–tubing annulus and an
orifice installed in the tubing
string.
Upon entering the tubing, the
compressed gas affects liquid
flow in two ways:
(a) the energy of expansion
propels (pushes) the oil to
the surface and
(b) the gas aerates the oil so that
the effective density of the
fluid is less and, thus, easier to
get to the surface.

There are four categories of Wells having a PI of 0.50 or
wells in which a gas lift can less are classified as low
be considered: productivity wells.
High productivity index Wells having a PI greater
(PI), high bottom-hole than 0.50 are classified as
pressure wells high productivity wells.
High PI, low bottom- High bottom-hole pressures
hole pressure wells will support a fluid column
equal to 70% of the well
Low PI, high bottom-
