Compositional model improves gas-lift optimization for Iranian oil field

摘要

A simulation with a compositional model improved the accuracy when compared with a black-oil model for predicting the performance of gas-lift wells in the Aghajari oil field in Iran.The Marun oil field gas compressor station supplies the lift gas,which is drier and has a lower molecular weight than the gas from the Aghajari field separators.These differences in gas cause inconsistencies in black-oil model calculations.
