High Pressure Gas Lift (HPGL) has established itself as a viable and valuable high-rate artificial lift method well suited to the challenges in modern unconventional production environments. Operators across all unconventional basins in North American unconventional basins are increasingly turning to HPGL to help them produce wells, especially during the initial production (IP) phase of the well’s life. To help operators successfully and efficiently implement HPGL into their operations, learnings from the first seven years of HPGL installations is being compiled into the industry’s first recommended practices for HPGL. The experiences and learnings from multiple operators using HPGL, along with the experience of HPGL experts is sought and shared.
