Dual Gas Lift Continuous Flow (IPO) Valves Offshore West Africa Well X-1 (long) and X-1D (short)
RCF Series - IPO Valves for Continuous Flow • Special IPO gas lift valves for continuous flow (R-1CF & RCF-2) used in redesign of well, X-1 • RCF series valves are simply IPO valves with gas chokes positioned upstream of valve port or seat • Valve configuration maintains tubing sensitivity after valve is in open position

July 1996 June 1998 Sept. 1998 Mar. 2000 Well X1 (Dual) History Well completed as common annulus dual; G/L mandrels contained dummy valves; both wells came in flowing naturally Waterflood injection initiated into reservoirs Due to increasing water cut and declining production, R-2 IPO valves were installed in 3.5” short string; valves were designed for 800 psi KO, 750 psi OP Due to increasing water cut and declining production, R-1CF IPO valves were installed in 2-7/8” long string; valves were designed for 750 psi OP
X-1D (short) Sept 1998 – R-2 IPO gas lift valves installed for unloading and gas lift operation, if required PI = 3.35 B/D/psi BHT = 165 deg F Design Rate = 2000 B/D %WC = 80% GL Pressure = 800 psi Recorded SBHP = 1600 psi (26 Sept 98)
Jan. 2002 Feb. 2002 Feb. 2002 Well X-1 (Dual) History High lift gas usage to both strings and production decline from short string prompted re-design of both strings; higher available gas lift pressure supply of 1150 psi allowed both strings to be designed for PSO pressure of 1050 psi R-1CF and R-2CF continuous flow valves were installed by slick-line Tests showed lift gas reduction in both strings, with oil increase of 560 barrels from short string
X-1 (Long) After GLV redesign and installation, well producing 1,750 bfpd with Qi = 500 mcfpd and lifting from GLV depth (4104 ft TVD)
X-1D (short) Jan 2002 – redesign with RCF-2 valves for 1050 psi Operating Pressure BFPD = 2500 [+1000 bfpd] Qi = 750 Mcfpd [-500 Mcfpd] Injection Depth = 4993’ TVD
X-1 Results • R-1CF & RCF-2 gas lift valves allow GL designer to maintain higher injection pressure, thus deeper injection depth • Different Injection Depths for each tubing string - 3516’ TVD for X-1 and 4993’ TVD for X-1D • X-1 - increase in fluid rate by 10% • X-1D - increase in fluid rate by 65% • Combined (Qi) gas injection rate was reduced by 25% • Combined oil gain was 560 bopd
