From whole globe the demand of oil and gas is increasing so increase production is most important. To increase oil production from existing wells in an oil field we have to focus much on optimizing oil production. One way to optimize oil production is to find an alternative to existing intermittent gas lift technology. As we study big oil field currently with huge oil and gas operating companies, the gas injection line network is very old and new intermittent gas lift installations on new wells has been connected to the existing network. Now this creates gas starving for the new installations and resulting in inadequate amount of gas production from the well. By introducing Plunger lift technology of artificial gas lift along with existing intermittent gas lift can provide a fool proof solution to the problem and also reduction in injected gas requirement also. Thus, reducing the compressor duty and overall reduction in environmental emission of harmful gases by reducing the diesel engine load required previously for compression. This paper discusses in detail with proof in form of tables, increase in oil production and reduction in injection gas requirement and reduction in emission of harmful gases to the environment.

Abstract


From whole globe the demand of oil and gas is increasing so increase production is most important. To increase oil production from existing wells in an oil field we have to focus much on optimizing oil production. One way to optimize oil production is to find an alternative to existing intermittent gas lift technology. As we study big oil field currently with huge oil and gas operating companies, the gas injection line network is very old and new intermittent gas lift installations on new wells has been connected to the existing network. Now this creates gas starving for the new installations and resulting in inadequate amount of gas production from the well. By introducing Plunger lift technology of artificial gas lift along with existing intermittent gas lift can provide a fool proof solution to the problem and also reduction in injected gas requirement also. Thus, reducing the compressor duty and overall reduction in environmental emission of harmful gases by reducing the diesel engine load required previously for compression. This paper discusses in detail with proof in form of tables, increase in oil production and reduction in injection gas requirement and reduction in emission of harmful gases to the environment.
