Rigless Gas Lift

Flowco’s rigless gas lift system enables high-rate annular lift with a seamless transition to tubing flow without requiring a workover rig. One integrated system supporting a full lifecycle lift strategy.

What is Rigless Gas Lift?

Hybrid (Rigless) Gas Lift is an advanced artificial lift method that enables high-rate annular flow early in the well’s life, followed by a seamless transition to tubing flow as production declines, without requiring a workover rig. This rigless transition reduces time, cost, and operational risk while maximizing productivity throughout each stage of the well’s lifecycle.
High initial flow capacity: via annular lift, rivaling ESP systems
No rig required: for flow regime transition - significant cost reduction
Flexible lifecycle optimization: from first production through maturity
Expert-driven nodal analysis: ensures precision valve and mandrel design
Reduced downtime and intervention costs: over the life of the well

How It Works

Understanding Hybrid (Rigless) Gas Lift

Hybrid gas lift starts with annular flow - handling high-rate production efficiently. As rates decline, the system switches to tubing flow without pulling the tubing string. The key? A smart lift design built on nodal analysis. We analyze well conditions, pressure profiles, and gas volumes to configure optimal valve placement and port sizing - ensuring lift performance adapts as your well evolves.
