Why Choose This Course

The Complete 10-Day Course on Gas Lift Excellence training course develops the technical knowledge required to design, install, operate and optimise gas lift systems. It supports production engineers, petroleum engineers and well intervention professionals across the complete gas lift lifecycle. Participants examine fluid dynamics, valve mechanics, injection depth, mandrel installation, operational management and production optimisation. This comprehensive understanding enables improved well performance, greater artificial lift efficiency and lower lifting costs.

Learning progresses from core principles and valve selection to system design, troubleshooting, real-time optimisation and advanced diagnostic techniques. The course also addresses gas lift applications within unconventional reservoirs and high-pressure, high-temperature environments. Case studies, practical exercises and optimisation sessions are incorporated throughout each module to reinforce technical understanding. This structured approach builds mastery rather than basic familiarity, supporting measurable improvements in production performance.

This The Complete 10-Day Course on Gas Lift Excellence training course will highlight:

Applying fluid dynamics fundamentals to gas lift systems
Selecting gas lift valves and understanding valve mechanics
Designing systems and optimising gas injection depth
Installing mandrels and managing gas lift operations
Diagnosing faults and troubleshooting system performance
Optimising production in unconventional reservoirs and HPHT environments

Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The Gas Lift Excellence Course is presented as an intensive ten-day programme arranged in a logical, progressive order. The first five days establish fundamental gas lift knowledge, followed by operational management, troubleshooting, optimisation, and advanced applications from days six to ten. Every day focuses on a separate technical area within the gas lift discipline, ensuring delegates gain both breadth and depth across the entire subject.

Hands-on valve selection exercises, demonstrations of mandrel installation, troubleshooting case studies, optimisation software applications, and case studies involving HPHT and unconventional reservoirs are incorporated throughout, ensuring each technical concept is based on practical application.

Methods of delivery include:

Instructor-led sessions addressing gas lift principles, fluid dynamics, valve technology, system design, and advanced applications
Fluid dynamics and flow regime workshops that apply pressure-drop calculations and flow-pattern analysis to the assessment of gas lift performance
Valve selection exercises using structured selection criteria for continuous, intermittent, and conventional valve scenarios
System design case studies that apply injection-depth and gas-injection-rate optimisation to actual gas lift design challenges
Advanced applications sessions exploring unconventional reservoir and HPHT gas lift case studies, along with emerging valve technology

Course Recap and Certification

The Complete 10-Day Course on Gas Lift Excellence training course begins with artificial-lift fundamentals, reservoir inflow, tubing performance and nodal analysis before examining gas-lift applications and system selection. It then covers surface and downhole equipment, mandrels, valve types, valve mechanics and operating pressures. The agenda progresses into continuous gas-lift design, including pressure traverses, valve spacing, unloading sequences, injection-depth and gas-rate considerations, followed by intermittent gas-lift principles, design considerations and the operation of gas-lifted wells.

The latter part of the course develops these foundations through advanced design, performance analysis and optimisation. Topics include diagnosing inefficient operation, recognising unstable behaviour, evaluating injection performance and identifying valve, well and system problems. The agenda also addresses troubleshooting using operating data, surveillance of gas-lift wells, optimisation under injection-gas and facility constraints, and the allocation of available gas across multiple wells. It concludes by integrating well-level analysis with field-wide gas-lift operation, monitoring and production optimisation.
