SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting: November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n  \n  \nGas Lift (GL) has been in use for over a century\, but it can still be improved through innovation \nand field testing. This presentation will review more than a decade of GL technology projects \nand resulting learnings. Topics include equipment reliability\, surveillance\, optimization\, \ntroubleshooting\, and production improvement. \nGL may not be resilient enough in certain applications. Hydraulically fractured wells have \ncreated solids-related reliability challenges. More than 20 check valve models were subjected \nto an erosive flow loop. Weaknesses were identified\, and a survivor emerged in the process. \nData is key to GL surveillance\, but not all assets possess the required quality. Wireless \nsensors were deployed at legacy offshore assets to enrich data acquisition and optimize by \nproxy. Ultrasonic gas flow meters were vetted in the lab and field to ensure they could meet \ninjection gas metering needs at locations where testing is rare. \nSometimes the data indicates a GL well is not achieving its potential. CO 2 tracing is a proven \nmethod of identifying where GL gas is being injected without affecting production. A radioactive \ntracing pilot was undertaken to validate an even simpler concept. Even if the GL is on target\, \nlift hydraulics could be enhanced if slip among produced fluids could be reduced. Surfactants \nwere piloted in various GL configurations to determine their effectiveness. \nAs these complementary topics demonstrate\, GL optimization requires an integrated\, \nmultidisciplinary approach. This presentation aims to show that technology advances can be \ndriven by asking and acting on the question\, “Why can’t this be better?” \n  \nBiography: \n  \n  \nMichael C. Romer\, P.E. is Principal Artificial Lift (AL) Engineer at ExxonMobil and is on the \nUpstream Production Optimization team in Houston. He has been with ExxonMobil for more \nthan 19 years\, primarily focusing on global AL. Michael developed ExxonMobil courses on gas \nlift\, ESPs\, rod pumps\, and deliquification and enjoys delivering them worldwide. \nMichael is the API 19G (Gas Lift) Task Group Chair\, ALRDC Board Secretary\, SPE Americas \nAL Conference Vice Chair\, and an SPE ESP Symposium committee member. He holds BS \nand MS degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee and the University \nof Illinois\, respectively. \n  \nRegister Here
