Gas Lift Surveillance
This service using the Tracer Metering System (TMS) monitors the status, integrity and efficiency of the gas lift system, enabling non-interventional, on-line gas lift surveillance.
The TMS equipment provides a cost-effective alternative to flowing gradient surveys, with no production losses or intervention in the well.
Applications
- Direct, on-line measurements of lift and production gases
- Lifting depth and down-hole gas lift distribution
- Tubing and casing leak detection
- Temperature and pressure gradients in the injecting annulus and production tubing
- Dynamic modelling and simulation of gas lifted production
Deliverables
- Gas lift rate and net produced gas values
- Pressure and temperature gradient in the well bore
- Single or multi-point injection
- Lifting depth
- Liquid level
- Tubing and casing integrity
- Compositional analysis of lifting and production gases
Benefits
- No production losses
- No intervention required
- Safe and reliable operations and immediate results
- Cost effective
- Direct measurements, low uncertainty
