As wells mature and reservoir pressure declines, operators face a daunting challenge—how to keep production flowing at a profitable rate. Enter gas lift, a critical piece of any gas lift system is the compressor. At Flowco, we specialize in gas lift solutions that optimize production for all phases of a well’s life cycle. For middle to late life wells gas lift is an effective solution to optimize production.
Gas lift is an artificial lift method that injects pressurized natural gas to varying depths in the wellbore. The injected gas aerates the fluid column, lifting oil and gas out of the formation and up to the surface. It’s a highly efficient way to boost production as wells deplete or face other reservoir challenges.
A gas lift system (the downhole components and the compressor) is designed to reduce the flowing bottomhole pressure (FBHP) of a well. By injecting gas, the density of the fluid in the tubing (or casing) is reduced, effectively reducing the FBHP of the well. This approach is particularly effective in wells with declining reservoir pressure, which is why it’s a go-to method for many operators facing production instability or decline. Flowco stands apart in our ability to offer contract compressors as well as downhole components for your gas lift system and helps you design the most efficient system for your well’s unique characteristics.
For producers looking to get more out of their existing assets, gas lift offers several advantages:
There are two main types of gas lift: continuous and intermittent. Each has its advantages depending on the well’s characteristics.
We understand that no two wells are the same. That’s why our gas lift solutions are designed to be flexible, efficient, and cost-effective. Whether you’re looking to boost production in a mature field or optimize a new well, our team of experts can help you select the right gas lift method to maximize your output.
And, our contract compression units are some of the most reliable in the industry (delivering over 99% mechanical availability). Available in both electric drive or natural gas engines, we’ve got a wide range of sizes to meet most E&P operators’ needs.
Gas lift isn’t just about keeping production flowing—it’s about unlocking the full potential of your well. With Flowco, you get the experience, expertise, and technology to ensure that you’re getting the most from your assets, every step of the way.
