What is gas lift in SAP IS-OIL-UOM-ALN - UOM Production Allocation?

SAP Term: gas lift

• Component: IS-OIL-UOM-ALN

• Component Name: UOM Production Allocation

• Description: An artificial lift method in which gas is injected within the well bore into the production tubing to reduce the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid column. The resulting reduction in bottomhole pressure allows the reservoir liquids to enter the well bore at a higher flow rate. The injection gas is typically conveyed down the tubing-casing annulus and enters the production train through a series of gas-lift valves.

• Key Concepts: 
  Gas lift is a technique used in oil and gas production to increase the flow of oil and gas from a well. It involves injecting a gas, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, into the well at a pressure that is higher than the pressure of the reservoir. This increases the pressure in the well, which helps to push the oil and gas up to the surface. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Gas lift is used in conjunction with other production techniques, such as artificial lift or water injection. The IS-OIL-UOM-ALN UOM Production Allocation component of SAP helps to manage and optimize production allocation for oil and gas wells. It allows users to set up production allocation rules for each well, and then monitor and adjust those rules as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up production allocation rules for a gas lift well, it is important to consider the pressure of the reservoir and the amount of gas that needs to be injected into the well. This will help ensure that the right amount of gas is injected into the well at the right pressure.
