Gas Lift Mandrels

From high-pressure completions to fast wireline swaps, Flowco gas lift mandrels are engineered to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of formations.

What is a Gas Lift Mandrel?

A gas lift mandrel is the core structural component in a gas lift system that houses and positions the gas lift valve on the production tubing. Installed as part of the tubing string, the mandrel provides a secure and durable platform for gas injection, chemical treatment, and flow control in artificial lift applications.
High-strength integrity: Engineered to match or exceed tubing pressure ratings
Versatile completions: Compatible with both single and dual string designs
Field-proven durability: Withstands frac interference and high-pressure operations
Wireline flexibility: Side-pocket options reduce intervention time and costs
Multi-function pockets: Accepts a range of valve types for chemical, flow, and kill operations
Various Coating & Material Options: Help combat corrosion

How It Works

Understanding Gas Lift Mandrels

Mandrels serve as the structural foundation of a gas lift system, positioned along the production tubing to house the valves that inject lift gas. Whether tubing-retrievable or wireline-accessible, Flowco mandrels provide a precise, reliable seat for lift performance, chemical delivery, and flow control.

The Flowco Advantage: Why Choose Our Gas Lift Mandrels?

When pressure rises, your mandrels should rise to the challenge.

Frac-Ready Strength

Built to resist offset frac interference and high-stress conditions.

Wireline Efficiency

Side-pocket designs enable fast valve swaps—no tubing trips required.

Precision Machined

Engineered for pressure parity with your production tubing—up to 10,000 psi.

Multi-Valve Compatibility

Accepts gas lift, chemical injection, circulating, and dummy valves.

Tailored for Optimization

Available in JR, SR, and high-pressure variants to match your lift strategy.

“We went from manual mode to APEX auto-mode on a four-well hybrid pad in the Delaware Basin. Within 60 days, we saw a 27% increase in production and used 22% less gas. No additional hardware, no downtime.”

David R., Production EngineerPermian E&P

Case Study & Field Results

“Swapping to Flowco PPO valves extended run life by 2.5x on our high-temp South Texas wells. Zero dome failures, and our crews haven’t pulled tubing in over a year.”
