Gas Lift Systems Design and Optimization: A Modern Modeling
Approach captures how to optimize gas lifted fields using various
modeling tools and communications technologies. This book presents
a holistic design that assures a comprehensive system methodology.
To help achieve the goals of production optimization, this text
examines certain vital concepts such as - fluid properties and
inflow capacities, gas lift design options, gas lift supply and
production gathering facilities as well as operation of processing
equipment. Furthermore, various field management strategies are
demonstrated in this solid approach, which will enable engineers to
apply and achieve many key performance indicators in field
operations. A technical book that covers all aspects of production
optimization of gas lift systems, it details efficient and
practical ways of designing and managing gas lifted network systems
from a field perspective. Gas lift system optimization methods
described herein establish that superior economic benefits can be
achieved if each component of the whole network is reviewed and
optimized, instead of optimizing the well performance alone.
Additionally, the book highlights the use of artificial
intelligence, machine learning, and data science technologies that
are available today to take asset optimization to greater heights
and extend its benefits. The author brings to the table his 30+
years of leading-edge insight and practical know-how, which will
equip the reader with the wisdom to embark on field gas lift system
optimization using modern, pragmatic, applied, and proven methods.
As the push for diversification of energy sources continues, this
book provides a toolbox of techniques to enhance top-line as well
as bottom-line results by successfully managing capital projects
and operations & maintenance trade-offs across the value chain.
Built on the foundations laid in Jacoby's previous books Optimal
Supply Chain Management in Oil, Gas, and Power Generation and Guide
to Supply Chain Management, it offers ground-breaking new ways to
tap the power of supply chain management in conventional and
emerging energy industries - from the small to the large project,
and from solar to nuclear and everything in between. The
organization of the book makes it a handy reference resource. It
starts with a conceptual framework for value chain and supply chain
management in the energy sector, laying out objectives, key
business processes, and performance metrics that provide useful
guideposts. It offers principles that should guide investments in
the energy industry and explains how to organize the supply chain
to maximize their results. Chapters on capital project and
operations management explain tools and techniques that are
relevant to energy value chains broadly speaking.
Technology-specific chapters show how these concepts apply to ten
energy domains: Hydrogen & Fuel Cells, Energy Storage, Wind,
Solar, Biomass, Oil & Gas, Geothermal, Gas and Coal-Fired
Power, Hydropower, Nuclear
