摘要：Human development and technological evolution demand more energy and therefore oil and gas business needs to think out of the box to enhance the production and economic life of a field. Artificial lift has been continuously developed and tested to boost the oil production of the well. Gas lift has been used extensively because it is flexible and can handle large range of flow rates ranging from 5 BOPD to 40,000 BOPD. This paper discusses about the historical evolution of the gas lift and continuous efforts made by researchers to develop this system since last few decades. Paper focuses on the idea of gas lift origin and transition from air lift to gas lift system. Paper describes about the various challenges faced during the implementation of gas lift system and approaches to overcome them. Pioneering work done by researchers to maximize the system, to work it in most stable condition, to use it in modern type of completions, innovations made in gas lift system are discussed in this paper. It also focuses on how digitization of the system can bring the gas lift to next level. Along with the overall development in gas lift, the study demonstrates the improvements made in different components and parameters like gas lift valve, injection pressure, optimization of gas lift, sensors in smart gas lift etc. With continuous evolution in gas lift, it can work with even more sustainability and contribute to fulfilling the world’s energy supply.
