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 Operating Techniques, you will learn about gas lift operations, including, operating efficiency, unloading and controlling both continuous and intermittent flow wells, and reading two-pen recorder charts.
