• Introduction
• Open Server Macros in IPM – Pros Vs
Cons
• Equilibrium Curve
• Gas Lift Stability Curve
• Gas Lift performance Curves
• Pros
– Easy way to customise Petex IPM suite
– Time saving in running routine applications
– Simple set of Macro instructions ( DoGet, DoSet, Do
Cmd)
• Cons
– Requires knowledge of Excel VBA
– Limited version control
• Equilibrium Curve
– Standard functionality in WinGLUE
– Use to optimise life cycle of GL design
• Stability Curve
– Based on minimum of annulus pressure curve and
maximum casing head pressure
• Gas Lift Performance Curve of commingled wells
– Generate GLPC’s from GAP accounting for well
interference (back-out, constraints)
• Module Objectives
– Open server module developed to aid
determination of the maximum depth of injection
in gas lift design and analysis
