English term or phrase: gas lift
Definition from Petex and the University of Texas Austin:
The process of raising or lifting fluid from a well by injecting gas down the well through tubing or through the tubing-casing annulus. Injected gas aerates the fluid to make it exert less pressure than the formation does; the resulting higher formation pressure forces the fluid out of the wellbore. Gas may be injected continuously or intermittently, depending on the producing characteristics of the well and the arrangement of the gas-lift equipment.

Example sentence(s):
  • The use of gas lift is not limited to wells incapable of natural flow; in many applications offshore on the UK Continental Shelf, gas lift is applied to naturally flowing wells to accelerate production. More than 20 manned installations have one or more gas lifted production wells drilled from the installation. Health and Safety Executive - UK
  • The proper measurement of production in marginal fields and new developments to optimize gas lift operations is a very important factor in the oil industry. The enhanced allocation of gas lift wells can result in immediate production payback by increasing each well production versus the injection ratio through real time well data readings. Egypt Oil & Gas
  • As the industry seeks to extend its ability to develop marginal offshore oil reserves profitably, fields requiring gas lift to generate sufficient oil production often pose a sizable challenge. Gas lift in subsea wells, using injected gas from surface, requires extensive infrastructure – the cost of which can render a marginal field uneconomic to develop. Scandinavian Oil-Gas Online

sembur buatan


Definition from Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Miner:
Sembur buatan : Pengangkatan minyak dengan jalan menginjeksikan gas bertekanan tinggi ke dalam anulus sumur produksi dan mencampurkannya kedalam fluida sumur agar laju arus meningkat.

Example sentence(s):
  • Metode pengangkatan buatan yang sering digunakan dalam industri perminyakan adalah metode gas lift (sembur buatan). Prinsip dari metode ini adalah untuk mengatur tekanan dasar sumur yang rendah dengan menginjeksikan gas bertekanan tinggi ke dalam annulus, sehingga cairan dapat diangkat menuju permukaan. Sumur dual gas lift aliran kontinu adalah salah satu type instalasi sumur gas lift. - ITB Central Library  
  • Sembur buatan (gas lift) adalah salah satu teknik artififial lift method. Saat produksi sumur menurun dan produksi air meningkat, tekanan dari reservoir sudah tidak mampu melawan tekanan hidrostatik di tubing sehingga produksi minyak sulit mencapai ke permukaan. Gas lift akan menurunkan berat jenis cairan sehingga tekanan hidrostatik di tubing pun turun, sehingga membantu produksi minyak ke permukaan. - Migas Indonesia online
