COURSE OVERVIEW
For assets having gas-lift as a predominant form of artificial lift, the full field optimization is essential due to the closed loop nature of the system due to interdependency between reservoir, wellbore and surface installation. This course will review full-field optimization concepts applicable to the gas lifted wells from subsurface to the surface. Through several guided exercises, participants will understand workflows of solving entire system using commercial software tools. The knowledge gained from this course will allow the participants to effectively analyze their gas lifted assets and implement optimization practices at component as well as system level over the lifetime of an asset.
