The Wolfberry offers additional production opportunities as well as many operational downhole challenges. This paper will cover a field study of "gas interference" challenges and the problems of free gas" at the pump. Gas interference creates costly expenditures for operators of Wolfberry and other oil wells with similar wellbore conditions. Poor volumetric pump efficiency, gas pound, gas locking potential, higher energy lifting costs and uncontrollable well operations are some of the conditions to be addressed with some of the downhole gas separator's available today.
