We're in an offshore field and annular unloading is a bit of an operational challenge. In case some may be unfamiliar with what we call annular unloading, we utilize gas lift in our field. Our wells sit in overbalanced completion fluid until they are handed over to production/operations. I...
Hey everyone, just wondering about industry best practice upon drilling and completing of gas injectors. One question floating around the office is do we need to flow back the next gas injector? We are in the offshore environment so there are significant savings if we can skip a flow...
Ah yes, I should have mentioned that we are in an offshore setting and any additional equipment (although a viable solution) is going to be difficult and expensive to install especially another compressor.
Ambient temperature is one of the drivers of the problem. Sea floor is at -2C
Hello,
We have a producing field with a single gas injector. Right now we are injecting into a pool with a reservoir pressure of ~23MPa. We're considering adding an injector in an adjacent pool, but the reservoir pressure is ~13MPa. As the two gas injection wells will be sharing a single gas...
