| description | The traditional optimum modes of gas-lift production are usually established by taking the injected gas rate as a decision variable and maximum oil production as the objective function. After solving the model, the injected gas rates of single wells are obtained, and then the oil productions of single wells, the total oil productions of well groups and economic profit can be obtained. However, the models do not take both different types of gas-lift performance curves (GLPCs) and the cost factors of gas-lift production technique into account. On the basis of GLPCs, this paper introduces the factors of a gas-lift production technique, which includes the water cut of crude oil, cost of gas injection and water treatment, and oil and gas prices. The concept of a gas-lift economic performance curve (GLEPC) is proposed, and an optimum gas allocation model is established, considering different types of GLPCs and taking economic benefits as the objective, and the model is solved by the method of mixed penalty function. Taking gas-lift well group JD as an example, four gas-lift gas allocation schemes are obtained, and the proposed economical optimum model is applied to optimize gas allocation and analyze profit. What is more, the oil production rate and the result of optimum gas allocation taking maximum oil production rate as the objective in the model are calculated and compared. Then the gas allocation scheme with maximum economical profit is selected, and the significance of considering different types of GLPCs and taking economic benefits as the objective to gas allocation is confirmed. |
