Gas Lift: Equipment
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
The injection of gas into the well fluids in the tubing of an oil well is one method of artificial lift. Gas Lift is a series of three learning programs describing this method in detail. In Gas Lift: Equipment, you will learn specifics about the equipment used in gas lift operations, including monitoring and measuring equipment, gas lift valves, mandrels, fluid pressure operated valves, reverse check valves, and bottomhole installations.
