A novel approach using computational fluid dynamics techniques provides a way for determining the characteristics of gas passing through a gas-lift valve. In the method, CFD calculations numerically ...
Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...
Key insight: All lift systems target the same physics: reduce mixture density or add head so that nodal balance at the wellbore yields the desired rate. 2.3 Select lift method aligned to fluid, depth, ...
