Paper: Intermittent Gas Lift Design Utilizing Multipoint Gas Injection

The purpose of this paper is to describe multipoint intermittent gas lift installation design. The application and advantages of this design technique are noted. The operating principal of multipoint gas injection, which includes fundamental valve mechanics, is presented. The maximum producing rates from the same high capacity well with a continuous flow installation and a multipoint intermittent installation are compared, and the reasons for the difference in producing capacity is reviewed.
