Standard continuous gas lift system works

Look at how a standard continuous gas lift system works and identify each component.

After initial startup or “kickoff”, the well must produce enough gas volume to operate the gas lift system. In many gas lift wells, supplementary gas is taken from nearby wells or pipelines to “kickoff” the artificial lift process.

If the well is not making enough gas to meet the volume needs of the gas lift system, makeup gas can be brought in from the sales line or a neighboring well.
