Enhancing production and ensuring well integrity requires the implementation of innovative gas lift solutions and other artificial lift methods that address the specific challenges of existing assets. As easily accessible reserves become scarce, operators and service companies are focusing on optimizing mature fields by leveraging advanced technologies to boost production and maintain well integrity. This workshop will delve into state-of-the-art gas lift technologies and techniques designed to manage fluctuating reservoir pressures, aging infrastructure, and common integrity issues such as corrosion and mechanical failures. By incorporating real-time monitoring, remote control, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision-making, these advancements enhance operational resilience and efficiency.

The discussion will share experiences in overcoming challenges, best practices, and lessons learned to achieve higher success rates in optimizing gas lift operations and ensuring well integrity, ultimately contributing to the resilience and efficiency of existing assets.
