2. Artificial Lift Screening & Ranking
Composite scoring — technical, economic, reliability
| Method | Technical | Economic | Reliability | Total | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gas Lift | 91 | 88 | 94 | 91 | 1 |
| ESP | 86 | 82 | 75 | 81 | 2 |
| Jet Pump | 76 | 79 | 72 | 76 | 3 |
| PCP | 73 | 84 | 70 | 73 | 4 |
| SRP | 57 | 78 | 68 | 57 | 5 |
| Plunger Lift | 55 | 80 | 62 | 55 | 6 |
| Hydraulic Pump | 61 | 65 | 58 | 61 | 7 |
| Intermittent GL | 59 | 70 | 55 | 59 | 8 |
Recommended Method: GAS LIFT

3. IPR & VLP Analysis
Inflow performance vs vertical lift performance
Operating Point: Q = 4,380 BLPD, Pwf = 2,400 psi — gas-lift VLP intersects the IPR; natural-flow VLP stays above the IPR (well will not flow unassisted).
4. Well Schematic & Lift Configuration
Current completion & lift setup
Current Configuration
| Lift Method | Gas Lift |
| Injection Rate | 1.8 MMscfd |
| Operating Depth | 7,900 ft MD |
| Tubing ID | 2.875 in |
| Casing | 7 in |
| Perforation | 8,200–8,400 ft |
| TVD | 9,800 ft |
| MD | 10,300 ft |
| Inclination | 62° |
| Temperature | 210°F |
5. Gas Lift Optimization
Current injection 1.8 MMscfd — inside the optimal band; incremental gas beyond 2.1 MMscfd adds slippage and compressor cost without liquid gain.
6. ESP Design (Future Option)
Candidate sizing for Stage 2
ESP Design (For Stage 2)
6,000 BPD @ 7,700 ft
60% pump efficiency at BEP
ESP Feasibility
Feasible — Stage 2 (30–54 mo)
Gas separator required (GVF > 10%)
7. Economics Comparison (NPV)
Upside vs downside risk per lift method
Gas Lift carries the highest NPV index (1.12) with the lowest downside risk — consistent with the screening recommendation.
8. Stage Recommendation
Lift method switchpoints over well life
| Stage | Timing (Months) | Recommended Method |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 0 | 0–8 | Natural Flow |
| Stage 1 | 8–30 | Gas LiftCURRENT |
| Stage 2 | 30–54 | ESP |
| Stage 3 | 54–72 | PCP |
| Stage 4 | >72 | Late-Life Optimization |
Switchpoints trigger on reservoir-pressure decline (Pr < ~2,800 psi → Stage 2 review) and rising water cut.

Maintenance Notes
- Gas lift valve #3 shows early wear — schedule inspection next shutdown.
- Injection gas rate trending +4% month-over-month; verify against optimal band.
- Tubing head pressure stable; no annulus anomalies detected.
