Gas Lift Solutions

Flowco’s gas lift solutions extend well life and boost production by injecting high-pressure gas to reduce fluid density, restore flow, and optimize recovery, whether in mature fields or new unconventional wells.

What is Gas Lift?

Gas lift is an artificial lift method that enhances a well’s natural flow by injecting high-pressure gas into the tubing or casing. This process reduces fluid density, increases velocity, and helps move liquids to the surface. Because it closely resembles the well’s own production mechanism, gas lift is both economical and versatile, effective across a wide range of reservoir pressures.

How It Works

Understanding Our Gas Lift Solutions

Unlike conventional tubing flow, annular gas lift optimizes high-rate wells by injecting lift gas down the tubing while producing fluids through the casing/tubing annulus. This method reduces flow restrictions and increases production efficiency, making it an essential tool for wells with high potential output.

Main Types of Gas Lift Solutions

Continuous Gas Lift
Intermittent Gas Lift
Conventional Gas Lift
Custom Engineered Gas Lift Solutions
Ideal for wells with stable production needs, continuous gas lift injects a constant stream of gas to maintain fluid velocity.
  • Reliable, steady flow for moderate to high-rate wells
  • Effective for deeper or higher-pressure applications
  • Minimizes downtime with consistent operation
Designed for low-rate or low-pressure wells, intermittent gas lift delivers gas injection in cycles to efficiently lift fluid slugs to the surface.
  • Optimizes production in mature, declining wells
  • Uses less injection gas compared to continuous lift
  • Extends economic life of marginal wells
Optimize your oil and gas production with Flowco’s Conventional Gas Lift systems—reliable, cost-effective solutions from surface to downhole, engineered for productivity, efficiency, and minimal maintenance.

How It Works:
Natural gas is compressed at the surface and injected into the wellbore through a series of gas lift valves. The injected gas lightens the fluid column, reducing its density and making it easier to lift to the surface. The result: enhanced production with lower operating costs.
  • Fully Integrated System – Includes both surface equipment and downhole components
  • Easy Maintenance – Designed to minimize non-productive time (NPT)
  • Flexible and Configurable – Easily modified as well conditions change, without costly workovers
  • ‍Reliable and Robust – Equipment manufactured to the highest standards for long-term performance
  • ‍Remote Monitoring & Support – SCADA integration and customized data access for operational insight
Tailored systems built around your well’s pressure, depth, and production profile—designed for maximum efficiency and recovery.
  • Integrated with Flowco valves, mandrels, and surface equipment
  • Optimized using nodal analysis and production modeling
  • Scalable from pilot wells to full-field implementation

What Are Gas Lift Valves & Mandrels?

A gas lift system relies on the precise operation of valves and mandrels to regulate injection gas and sustain production. Valves open at pre-set pressures to introduce gas into the production tubing, reducing hydrostatic head and lifting fluids to surface. Mandrels serve as the hardware that houses these valves within the tubing string, whether installed at surface or deployed by wireline.

Flowco offers a complete portfolio of gas lift valves and mandrels designed for reliability, flexibility, and field-proven performance.
