    This document provides instructions for modeling gas lift through concentric tubing using Pipesim 2015. It describes inserting engine keywords at the top of the concentric tubing to model the tubing and gas injection. Keywords like PIPE, FLOWTYPE, AID and AOD define the tubing properties, while INJGAS, IDCT and RATE define gas injection properties. A gas lift valve can also be used instead of INJGAS. The method is confirmed by checking the annulus ID and OD and correct gas injection. Limitations include the inability to model sensitivities or pressure loss with INJGAS, or injection below the production tubing.

    Modeling Gas Lift Through Concentric

    Tubing Using Pipesim 2015


    Creating the well model

     To model the GL using concentric tubing injection, the


    following steps are to follow:
    – Create the well model without the concentric tubing.
    – To model the concentric tubing, insert an engine keywords at TD
    of the concentric tubing.
    – To model the gas injection, two methods may be used:
    • Insert another engine keywords at the same depth (TD of the concentric
    tubing), this allow the simulation of pressure loss through the tubing.
    • Insert as gas lift valve (this allow the use of sensitivities using different tasks,
    and also enable the use of gas lift tasks).

    Engine keywords customization – Concentric tubing engine keywords.
     In downhole equipment, after selecting the right
    engine keywords, the following keywords may be
    used:
    – PIPE: to define the type of the engine keywords.
    – FLOWTYPE: to define the flow through the annulus
    (between the production tubing and the concentric tubing)
    – AID: to define the annulus internal diameter, which is the
    concentric tubing external diameter.
    – AOD: to define the annulus external diameter, which is the
    production tubing internal diameter.
    – Other keywords may be used if needed, and they can be
    checked using Pipesim help, looking for the keyword
    “PIPE”.

    3
    Engine keywords customization – Gas injection engine keywords.
     In downhole equipment, after selecting the right
    engine keywords, the following keywords may
    be used:
    – INJGAS: to define the type of the engine keywords to
    be and injection gas point.
    – IDCT: to define the inside diameter of the concentric
    tubing or coil used for injection.
    – RATE: to define the rate of injection.
    – SIP: to define the surface injection pressure.
    – Other keywords may be used if needed, and they
    can be checked using Pipesim help, looking for the
    keyword “INJGAS”.

    Gas lift valve

     The “INJGAS” keyword may be replaced by


    a gas lift valve, which will enable the use of
    gas lift tasks and doing sensitivities on GL
    parameters.
     The GL valve need to be put at the same
    TD as the “PIPE” engine keywords (TD of
    the concentric tubing).

    5
    Method confirmation

     This method can be confirmed by


    checking two parameters:
    1. The annulus ID and OD.
    2. Gas is correctly injected at the injection
    point

    6
    Limitations of the proposed method
     Using the keyword “INJGAS” instead of a gas lift valve will not enable the use of
    the gas lift tasks and no automatic sensitivities can be done on the “INJGAS”
    parameters.
     Using a gas lift valve instead of “INJGAS” keyword will not enable the right
    calculation of the pressure loss through the concentric tubing.
     This method cannot model gas lift injection through concentric tubing when it’s TD
    is bellow the production tubing TD, as the engine keywords “GASINJ” and gas lift
    valves can only be placed at the tubing level.
     The last limitation can be bypassed by modeling the casing/liner as tubing, and
    modeling the production tubing using an engine keywords, and using the same for
    concentric tubing (creating a telescopic completion)
