    A Study of Injection Gas Temperature Effect On Gas Lift Mode

    Uploaded by

    Akuliya Polimari
    This document discusses increasing the temperature of injection gas in a gas lift system to improve production. Rising the temperature from 30°C to 50°C was estimated to: 1) Increase the injection gas line pressure from 48 to 51 ksc and reduce density from 0.68 to 0.64. 2) Allow injection at greater depths, from 2576m to 2682m. 3) Increase oil production, with an extra 254-995 m3/D per well and overall production gains of 9.12-46.62%. The proposed method to increase temperature was modifying compressor cooling, requiring only minor piping changes at low cost.

    A study of Injection gas temperature effect on Gas lift mode

    A R Chendrasekar, Artificial lift


    SE(P)
    Problems due to low gas injection temperature:

    • Gas injection flow line choke during winter


    (hydrate formation )

    • Out flow restriction due to high wax content


    Solution for the problem ?
    • Mechanical : Scraping
    Disadvantage : Plugging of perforation, Scraper struck up

    • Chemical methods : Chemicals inhibitors


    Disadvantages : Inject below wax appearance temperature
    and problem chemical reaction deposits

    • Thermal : Immediate result


    Advantages of high injection gas temperature
    1. Injection gas choking problem may rectify
    2. Quantity of wax deposition may decrease
    3. Depth of scrap may decrease
    4. Scrap period may increase
    5. Temperature increase in GI, results to high pressure , low density ,
    high lifting capacity
    6. Reduce the down time
    Sources of heat for injection gas
    1. Gas heating with fired furnace

    2.Gas heating with electricity

    The mentioned sources are very costly and very difficult to maintain
    Alternate solution to increase gas temperature
    (Compressor at GGS IV)
    Modification
    Estimated Results: (Using Hysis, Chemcad, Glide, Pipesim softwares used
    for simulation )

    Calculation for the rise of injection gas temperature 30 C to 50 C

    • Pressure rised from 48 Ksc to 51 Ksc

    • Density reduced from 0.68 to 0.64

    • Injection depth increased from 2576 m to 2682 m

    • Rise in oil outflow


    No. Depth Depth Gas flow Gas flow Prod @30C Prod @50C Extra Prod Prod gain
    @30C @50C @30C @50C Gas@50C gain@50C

    Benefits from the scheme:

    1. Outlet temperature to gas injection line pressure will increase and


    accordingly density of gas will decrease
    2. The efficiency of compressor will increase as the quantity of gas cooling
    will reduce
    3. The pressure drop across air fin coolers for third stage will be reduce
    4. Wax formation may reduce
    5. Injection gas line choking problem rectification
    Requirements for the scheme:

    1. Two globe valves with minor modification of air fin cooler piping

    2. Gas line insulation is needed for better implementation of this


    scheme.

     
    • The cost of implementation for the scheme is very less and benefits
    are significant.
    Hence the above scheme is needed to implement.
