Bottle Chamber Gas Lift Systems, Apparatuses, and Methods Thereof

摘要

Applicants have created systems, methods, and apparatuses for increasing the production of fluid from a subterranean well. The system can include a controller and upper and lower portions. The upper portion can include an injection valve for regulating the amount of a first gas injected into an injection conduit. The lower portion can include a chamber valve for regulating the flow of a second gas through an upper tubing string and a vent valve for regulating the flow of the first gas and a standing valve. The collected fluid creates pressure in the lower portion causing the second gas to flow from the lower tubing string to the upper tubing string. The controller controls the injection valve and is coupled to a pressure gauge for measuring pressure in the lower portion. With the aid of this system, well operators can increase production of subterranean well formations, such as gas wells, without increasing backpressure on those formations.

主权项

1. An apparatus for increasing the production of a gas well, the apparatus comprising:
an upper portion, comprising:
an injection valve adapted to regulate the amount of a first injection gas injected into an injection conduit; and a lower portion comprising:
a chamber valve adapted to regulate the flow of the first injection gas through an upper tubing string;a vent valve adapted to regulate the flow of a first injection gas through a lower tubing string; anda standing valve, wherein the lower portion is adapted to collect fluid if the standing valve is open; wherein collected fluid is adapted to create pressure in the lower portion to cause the second gas to flow from through the annulus to the surface.
