EXAMPLE:
Avery high rates increase tubing friction and put back pressure on the formation reducing
liquid production
A. True
B. False
An increase of surface gas injection rate would have what effect on liquid flow rate?
Continuous gas lift creates a high back-pressure on the formation, and thus limits the maximum
possible flow rate that can be produced from a well
A. True
B. False
Which would you recommend for a well that a high GLR, producing form a deviated well and is
drilled form an offshore platform
A. Rod Pumping
B. Gas Lift
C. Electric submersible pump.

Dr. Emad Fandi ASSIGMENT II
Would you recommend continues or intermittent gas lift for a well that is 5000 feet deep and
excepted to produced 800 barrels per day. The static pressure is 1800 psig.
A. Intermittent
B. Continuous
Should annulus flow or tubing flow be selected for a well that is cased with 5-1/2 inch casing and has
2-3/8 inch tubing available that expected flow rate is 4000 bbl/d
A. Annulus flow
B. Tubing flow
TO equip a continues gas lift installation for intermittent gas lift, which of the following does not
need to be added or changed
A. The operating gas lift valve
B. The adjustable surface injection chock
C. The standing valve
Why are centrifugal compressors better than reciprocating compressors for offshore instillation?
A. Compact size
B. Low vibration
C. High output
D. All of the above

Dr. Emad Fandi ASSIGMENT II
Natural gas from a gas-lift well is saturated with water and contains hydrogen sulfied how should the
gas be processed?
A. 5/8 Inch
B. 1.0 Inch
C. 1.5 Inch
Unloading valves
A. Chose when gas starts passing through the valve below them
B. Are unnecessary if the injection gas pressure is high enough
C. Are used for both Continuous and intermittent gas lift
D. All of the above

Dr. Emad Fandi ASSIGMENT II
Which gas lift the method is best …………… (High liquid production and high static pressure), and
…………….. (Low capacity wells).
