Abstract Virtual Flow Metering (VFM) is an increasingly attractive method for estimation of
multiphase flowrates in oil and gas production systems. Instead of using expensive …

Optimization of gas lift plays a substantial role in production and maximizing the net present
value of the investment of oil field projects. However, the application of the optimization …

The worldwide increase in energy demand necessitates the development and optimization
of marginal oil fields for sustenance. In this regard, effective and economic production of …

Well productivity in the Asmari carbonate formation of southwest Iran has decreased in
recent years as a result of production issues. The production rate must be maintained below …

A general modelling framework for optimization of multiphase flow networks with discrete
decision variables is presented. The framework is expressed with the graph and special …

Gas-lift technique plays an important role in sustaining oil production, especially from a
mature field when the reservoirs' natural energy becomes insufficient. However, optimally …

Real-time optimization (RTO) methodologies have become essential for optimal process
operation in the oil and gas industries. Typically, RTO is based on a steady-state model …

Artificial lift techniques are a highly effective solution to aid the deterioration of the
production especially for mature oil fields, gas lift is one of the oldest and most applied …

Using optimization methods is of great importance in different aspects of petroleum
engineering, including production engineering and gas lift. Gas allocation optimization is …

The gas lift technique applies gas bubble injection into the vertical wells to raise production.
Gas and liquid rates, shifts in flow regimes, and system equilibrium influence this process …
