The most common way to achieve an enormous production rate of a reservoir is to increase drawdown pressure during the production procedure by decreasing the bottom-hole pressure.This process was done by artificial patterns like a gas lift.Nowadays,most of the wells worldwide due to years of production and reducing the amount of energy which was supplied by natural drive mechanisms are being placed on artificial lift methodologies.Hence,the number of wells that used this method will continue to increase.The primary purposes in the gas lift design of a wellbore are to determine the proper depths and the location of valve installation,select appropriate flow regime during the pipeline and calibrate the pressures of the operating and unloading valves.The purpose of this research is to design gas lift system in the oil wells of on the south fields of Iran by considering the maximum production connate water volume of 40 percent and average pressure drop (20-25 psia) throughout the year regarding production continuously or increasing the flow rate of the wells.Therefore,20 wells that their number starts A to T with this locations L280N,W115S and W002S are the candidates for gas lift procedures.Furthermore,the appropriate flow regimes through the well are being studied,and the most proper method for gas lifting and required surficial equipment will be designed for this field.Consequently,due to increasing the volume of gas and connate water among the production after gas lifting,fundamental changes on the equipment,flow regimes and gas lift system are being proposed that production will be done by proper engineering method.In the well gas lift design,Beggs & Brill Revised method is being selected for hydraulic calculation of pipeline flow due to low errors.
