Equipment Used for Continuous Gas Lift Compression at Zhanazhol Field: Calculation of Gas Lift Installation and Selection of the Optimal Well Operation Method

Abstract

This paper examines the equipment utilized for the continuous compressor gas lift system at the Zhanazhol field, focusing on the technical design, installation, and optimization of gas lift operations. The study presents a comprehensive calculation of gas lift installations, detailing the key components such as compressors, separators, valves, and tubing used to ensure efficient well production. Through comparative analysis, the paper evaluates various well operation methods and identifies the most optimal approach for sustaining production rates, considering factors such as well pressure, gas injection rate, and reservoir characteristics. The findings provide insights into maximizing efficiency and extending the operational lifespan of wells at the Zhanazhol field.
